Developing / making changes to python files

[beefybailey]

Hey Guys,

As you may have worked out by now i am a Python / Django novice and help set up a website for a friend, we have just moved to a new host (based on previous recommendations) and i thought i would take the chance to upgrade from 0.5 to 0.7. Unfortunately when we were tweaking 0.5 for our needs i upgrade some of the python files e.g. "models.py" so i could add some extra columns to the product table etc.

I realise now i probably shouldn't have just changed the deployed python files directly, so going forward, how and were abouts do i add my own python files, or even my own modified versions so that future upgrades are easier?

Also, what software does everyone use for developing in Python / Django?

Thanks again guys,

Mark

1. Fork it on GitHub

2. Point to your forks within buildout.cfg

3. Run the buildout (your forks will be checked out to the "src"-folder)

4. Make changes to your forks and push it to GitHub

5. In future you might merge the master repository into yours

SublimeText 2 with Djaneiro Package
