dojo+django = dojango (just released)
Finally we have released dojango. Well, to be honest it’s mostly Tobi’s work that dojango rocks as it does! Big thanks!
So if you are still looking for the right JavaScript toolkit to go with django then you are at the end of your search now. Use dojango! Dojango s
- a reusable django app that provides dojo
- easy dojo setup inside django
- build an optimized dojo
- some helper functions, i.e. JSON conversion
- switch easily between different dojo versions.

Interesting, I will have to look deeper into it. I am just starting off with dojo after building a few django sites. I’m wondering what the advantages of using dojango are over manually putting dojo in. This is my first window in…

@Skylar, great that you find it useful. As mentioned above it shall make the use of dojo a piece of cake, we hope it’s getting there.
To do AJAX stuff I suggest this blog article http://blog.uxebu.com/2008/07/26/ajax-with-dojango/
Imho one of the most useful things in dojango is the @json_encode decorator, which just simply encodes the data your view returns as JSON and you have “AJAXified” this URL. I had until dojango always done that by copying this method by hand, which is just more work :-).
Have fun

you really should add a Google ad rotator, what a waste of wonderful hits…. do you happen to know any good references or books on django or dojo? i would like to build a game with django and python but design some of the elements with the ajaxfrom dojo.

Hi, Does dojango replace the defaul widgets? What is the best way to wholesale use Django widgets throughout so that all the nice asynchronous input checking, pop-up calendars, etc get used?
I am quite far into integrating Dojo into my templates and views, is it worth it to scrap most of it and go for Dojango?

Well, after what I saw just today, from Tobi you can replace all the django widgets by using the dojo version of them, and you get even more and cooler stuff, like a DateWidget, Sliders and stuff. That is just the latest SVN, since Tobi is working on it just this moment still. But it will be as simple as “from dojango import forms” and off you go, and everything can stay as it used to be. And as said before you get quite some more stuff … I am really excited. Either join #dojango and get more details, checkout the svn or just wait till the next release, 0.4 that will be.
