Is it possible to calculate driving directions with geodjango from a point to another through a map, and display them?

Hi,

I'm currently working on a similar project, geodjango does not handle routing out of the box.

I'm using pgrouting with a custom app to perform routing on a track network.

Let me know if we can join our efforts and maybe write a "reusable" app for django routing.

AFAIK , spiatialite should also support routing.

What's can be used to show the routing ? Openlayers?

As soon as you have your data in a GIS format (GML, KML or even WKT) you can show your routing results with the viewer you like. 

And yes, openlayers is a good candidate.

Tomorrow I will meet the boss and I will know if and how we can spend
time in that project.

Maybe if you share what you've done and what you need I can help you more.
