Converting Speedy Net to Python/Django

[Uri Even-Chen]

To Django Users,

I want to convert my open source social network, Speedy Net, from PHP to Python and Django. Which Django packages do you recommend using? I prefer to start with Python 3. I saw the list of apps on https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/social/ , and I found that django-allauth is the most popular app that supports Python 3. Do you recommend using it? I think I will change the authentication functions, to preserve backwards compatibility with Speedy Net - to let current users log in with their current password, which is saved hashed/encrypted on the database (with salt). I also want users to be able to edit their profile, create groups and pages, like pages, join groups and send messages to each other. I'm also thinking about creating an optional matching/dating service for Speedy Net users. Which apps/platforms do you recommend me to use?

Thanks,

Uri.
