New django-manage module

As part of the new "batteries included" modue philosophy (and
accompanying some new modules for rabbit and MongoDB users), I've
merged a very nice Django module from Scott Anderson into core.

Contributions and ideas from all the Django devs out there are quite welcome.

We probably won't include *every* web framework under the sun, but
Django is quite prominent and has some nice things in it, and we are
also a Python framework. There are a lot of things this will let you
do, especially coupled with the 'git' module to deploy and update
software from checkout -- or the subversion module if you like that
more.

(I'm also quite open to someone writing a good gems and Rails module
if they want to!).

Aside -- Obviously the module list is starting a get a bit long!
(Great problem to have!) I've also discussed adding a "category" field
to the modules with @yeukon, where we can build an extra level of
nesting into the module documentation/TOC and keep things more
organized within the page.

Anyway, lots of new module development happening lately, see the
changelog for more details!

Thanks for including it in core, Michael.

Just to let everyone know, I will be adding South to the module as soon as I get to it in my current project.

Awesome.

There is a 67.95% chance Ansible-commander will be Django based.
It's a conservative choice, but it includes lots of useful batteries.
South is one of those very very good things.

South does not actually come with Django, you have to install it manually as a separate package. I really wish it was packaged with Django and enabled by default. For any non-trivial Django project, you really want to have database migrations enabled.

Yep, I'm aware :slight_smile:

"Included in the ecosystem", I guess I should have said.

Scott:

Great work, it’s wonderful to see this make it into core. Big fan of using Ansible to deploy Django apps.

Take care,
