Django allauth Django allauth is a popular third party package that provides a lot of functionality for handling user authentication, with support for social authentication, email verification, multi-factor authentication, and more. It is a powerful library that greatly expands the built-in Django authentication system. It comes with its own basic forms and models for user registration, login, logout, and password management. I like using it because often I just wanted to get a new Django project up and running quickly without having to write up all the authentication-related views, forms, and templates myself. I’m using django-allauth in PyLadiesCon Portal, and in my personal project Secret Codes.

As of today (well, technically yesterday), django.tasks is officially released upon the world! Mostly. <note> Note that django.tasks and django-tasks are in fact different, albeit by a single character. Take care when reading. </note> What happened? As of today, the first PR to implement DEP 14 ("Background workers") has been…

I think this is great @adamghill ! Already it’s definitely an upgrade over the existing one, which is old, so nothing against its design that has held up for so long. I really like how you have a quick start on there to emphasize how quick it is to get started. I think I’m probably too close to this, since I worked with @carltongibson and @pauloxnet to help with the 20tab work @jacobian mentioned, but I’ll just add here my own list of things to consider, as well: Sponsor logos vs companies us...
