My approach on class based views
By using __new__ the result of a class instantiation is not an object but the result of a method call. This way classes can be used for views the same way as functions.

browscap.ini-parser
Sometimes you need to know if a visitor is a bot or if the browser supports certain features or if it is a mobile device. The easiest way to do so would be to lookup the user agent in a capabilities database. Fortunately there is already such a database called browscap.ini which is widely known among PHP users. I found the file accidently on my harddrive because it is also used by Mono: /etc/mono/browscap.ini Read http://browsers.garykeith.com/index.asp for more information. Before importing the module you need to call the script from commandline to retrieve the browscap.ini file. Look at the test function to see how to use it. You can also create a file called "bupdate.ini" which can contain fixes for wrong or incomplete entries, e.g: [Konqueror] javaapplets=True

Quick and dirty way to make dynamically available all tables of a database as models
There are a lot of reasons why you should not do this. But nevertheless it might be useful in certain situations. If your database does not change and you want to use validators etc you better use inspectdb from django-admin.py
