DownloadView generic class view

Generic class view to abstract out the task of serving up files from within Django. Recommended usage is to combine it with SingleObjectMixin and extend certain methods based on your particular use case. Example usage class Snippet(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length = 100) slug = SlugField() code = models.TextField() from django.views.generic.detail import SingleObjectMixin class DownloadSnippetView(SingleObjectMixin, DownloadView): model = Snippet use_xsendfile = False mimetype = 'application/python' def get_contents(self): return self.get_object().code def get_filename(self): return self.get_object().slug + '.py' '''
