There's this cool project called django-extensions that (among other things) adds a lot of commands to django'smanage.py offerings. One of which is ./manage.py graph_models [appname] which will generate a nice graph displaying the relationships among all of your Models. This comand needs pyGraphViz, though, and I was a little disappointed when i discovered I couldn't install pyGraphViz with pip install pygraphviz. (ok, a lot disappointed).

I started using mercurial around version 1.2, and I'm pretty sure I used the Mac OS X installer (from http://mercurial.berkwood.com/) to install 1.2.1. This placed hg in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/.Sept. 9th, 2008 In: None By: Brad Montgomery 4 comments
When you really start digging into Mac OS X, it's fairly mind-boggling how much extra stuff it has that your average user never sees. I recently encountered a problem on my MacBook Pro, where the Optical Audio was overriding my internal speakers, which prevented me from hearing any audio (without using headphones). Unfortunately, there's no easy-to-access preference pane to enable or disable various audio devices. This led me on a search for command-line utilities to manage system preferences.June 6th, 2008 In: None By: Brad Montgomery 5 comments
Since upgrading to Leopard, I've been using Mac's default install of Python (which is 2.5.1). For the most part it's worked well for me, namely because I've installed additionaly packages either using Mac installers or through easy_install. I recently needed to install python-ldap which didn't work using easy_install. So, I turned to Fink.
