Django EncryptedField

Inspired by [Base64Field: base64 encoding field for storing binary data in Django TextFields](https://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1669/) but in a generic way. from django.db import models import base64 class Base64Encryptor(object): def encrypt(self, value): return base64.encodestring(value) def decrypt(self, msg): return base64.decodestring(msg) class MyModel(models.Model): ... b64_data = EncryptedField(encryptor=Base64Encryptor) ... # Usage my_obj = MyModel() my_obj.b64_data = "hello" print(my_obj.b64_data) # will output 'hello' print(my_obj.b64_data_enc) # will output 'aGVsbG8=\n'

Get derived model instance

Get derived model without storing their names or content types in databases. You write only one line, it expands into only one SQL-query (with many LEFT OUTER JOIN's). Model definition example: class BaseModel(models.Model): foo = models.IntegerField(null=True) derived = DerivedManager() class FirstChild(BaseModel): bar = models.IntegerField(null=True) class SecondChild(BaseModel): baz = models.IntegerField(null=True) How to use: >>> f = FirstChild.objects.create() >>> s = SecondChild.objects.create() >>> print list(BaseModel.objects.all() [<BaseModel object 1>, <BaseModel object 2>] >>> print list(BaseModel.derived.all() [<FirstChild object 1>, <SecondChild object 2>] >>> print BaseModel.derived.get(pk=s.pk) <SecondChild object 2>

"Autoconnect" model decorator, easy pre_save and post_save signal connection

This method allows you to define pre_save and post_save signal connections for your decorators in a little more clean way. Instead of calling `pre_save.connect(some_func, sender=MyModel)`, or perhaps `pre_save.connect(MyModel.some_static_func, sender=MyModel)`, you can simply define the pre_save method right on your model. The @autoconnect decorator will look for pre_save and post_save methods, and will convert them to static methods, with "self" being the instance of the model.

Ellipsis paginator decorator with first and last two items

Use this template tag to get a paginator showing the first and last two pages w/ adjacent pages using ellipsis. The `page` parameter is a page of a `Paginator` (typically the first but you can use whichever you want). In case of 50 pages, while being on the 40th, it'll give you the following iterable of `int`s (with `settings.PAGINATOR_ADJACENT_PAGES = 2`): `(1, 2,    38, 39, 40, 41, 42,    49, 50) ` You get the idea.

Reset cache between tests

I don't understand why the cache is accumulated between the tests. I thought one of the axioms of unit testing is that the tests should not affect each other. Couldn't find anything that explains why it's done this way but it seems a bit strange. Anybody know if there's a reason or is this a reason for me to upload a patch to Django code?

Make HTML5 appcache manifest slice work with django-compress compressed files

I needed to make appcache for my application which used django-compress for JS and CSS compression. This is, how I solved the problem with putting compressed files into the manifest. I went for offline compression (with `COMPRESS_OFFLINE=True`). This snippet shows code of command file (put it in `apps/cyklomapa/management/commands/compress_create_manifest.py`), which creates `compress_cache_manifest.txt` file in my templates. Then I just use `{% include "compress_cache_manifest.txt" %}` in my appcache template.
