It’s great for making an API that is used by unattended processes or third-parties. https://unop.uk/securing-django-on-heroku-and-secret-key-generation/ Tue, 18 Jan 2022 16:00:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/securing-django-on-heroku-and-secret-key-generation/ Heroku is an easy platform to host a Django app on but you should set a few things to make sure your app is secure. https://unop.uk/django-uuid-tips/ Fri, 17 Dec 2021 16:00:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/django-uuid-tips/ I typically use universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), also known as globally unique identifiers (GUIDs), as the public IDs for objects in an application. https://unop.uk/django-4-0-and-3-2-10/ Fri, 10 Dec 2021 15:45:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/django-4-0-and-3-2-10/ Django 4.0 is out and so is Django 3.2.10.

I’m using PostgreSQL but this applies to any database. https://unop.uk/python-pyenv-shims-not-in-path-fix/ Thu, 18 Nov 2021 16:00:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/python-pyenv-shims-not-in-path-fix/ I was doing some work with Django 3.2.9 and Python 3.10 recently, and I came across a strange issue. The root cause of this was that the pyenv shims had disappeared from my PATH and so the system Python version was being used. https://unop.uk/projects/ Fri, 06 Jan 2017 10:00:00 +0000 j.p.singleton+blog@gmail.com (James Singleton) https://unop.uk/projects/ Below are a selection of just some of my projects.
