Removing the Magic
Finally I found time to rework code of step-inside.org to use current (post magic-removal) version of django. I managed to do this in about half a day. There were only two non-straightforward tasks:
- Change database schema and migrate data. Fortunately there is very good overview of changes in Django Wiki
- Initially I have used tagging application from django_stuff library, but now I decided to remove this dependency and implemented my own functionlaity to support tags for blog entries.
After migration I added two new cool features to my blog application: syntax highlighting and sending email for new comments.
I will blog about implementation details in the next posts.
