Nice to hear. :-)

Yes, I have noted this before
http://code.google.com/p/crunchy/issues/detail?id=172
but, since there was little demand for it (this was just an idea I
had), I have not done any work on it.  I have made a mental note to
increase the priority of working on this.

This looks like a very useful addition to Crunchy.  I have not worked
with Django myself, other than a small sample app just to see what it
was about.  I wonder if it would also be useful to have with Google
App Engine...

Crunchy development tends to slow down to a very painful crawl (if not
worse) during the typical "Academic year", usually with an exception
around the Xmas holidays - as I am pretty much the only continuing
developer.  I will try to incorporate your code as the first
opportunity.

Cheers,

André (Roberge)
