Do you use a set of base model fields for your #Django projects? If so, what fields do you include & apply to most of your models?
Here is a set of four fields that tracks created/updated date and who created/deleted the record. Anything missing or awry with this set of fields?
Do you use a #Django custom user model? If so, what do you do differently from the built-in User, and why?
I like django-improved-user. Why?
(1) email as username
(2) full-name field instead of first/last names
(3) short-name for preferred first name

Do you use (1) the built-in authentication provided by #Django, (2) django-allauth, or (3) something else? What made you choose it over the alternatives? What don’t you like about it?
On this day 10 years ago, I made my first commit to @GetPelican.
I can hardly believe it’s been a decade. Quite a milestone! 🎊
It has been an honor to have played a part in nurturing the growth of this community. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. Y’all are the best. 💗
Pelican 4.7.1 is out! ✨
Thanks to the Rich project by @willmcgugan, Pelican’s dev-server component now has richer logging output.
Plus, Pelican is now being tested on the recently-released Python 3.10, and we made a few other minor improvements.

I’m happy to announce the release of Pelican 4.7, with improved default theme rendering on mobile devices, hidden article support, richer logging, and other tweaks & enhancements. Many thanks to the contributors who made this possible! ✨

If you are interested in contributing to #Python open-source projects, Pelican plugins are a great place to start. They are small and relatively easy to understand, and contributions to them are usually reviewed quickly. 💫 github.com/pelican-plugins
Do you use Homebrew Python? You may not realize this, but Homebrew Python is not meant for you.
My latest article explains why, as well as what I think you should use instead when developing with #Python. 🐍

Microsoft shutters its ebook program & confiscates customer libraries. We should all be as angry as @doctorow:
“The idea that the books I buy can be relegated to some kind of f***ing software license is the most grotesque and awful thing I can imagine.”
