Vanity URLs for Django Projects Using django-vanityurls

I've just yesterday released a small open source project, which I hope may be of use to somebody out there. I'm already using it on MusicLiveCOLCHESTER, so at least I know it works!

It's a Django app named django-vanityurls. It's pretty simple and lets you set up short, memorable vanity URLs for your site via the Django admin.

It's just a hobby, but with any such project, I try to take a professional approach, so there is 100% test coverage and brief but comprehensive documentation. Feel free to have a look:

• The django-vanityurls project page on PyPI, the Python Package Index
• The django-vanityurls documentation on Read the Docs
• The django-vanityurls source code repository on Github

I'll write a bit more about another of my projects, django-wikiwikiweb, in due course, but that will take a bit longer to describe.

Update 2024: Still Not Much to See Here

If you can see this, then you're looking at a hastily cobbled-together rewrite of the site using Python+Django. In the time since I last looked at these pages, apparently Zend Framework is no longer an ongoing project. It is an ex-framework. So I've migrated away from the legacy server I had for it.

If you like, I'd be flattered if you were to have a look at one or two of my other projects:

• MusicLiveColchester - comprehensive live music listings for the town I now live in
• django-wikiwikiweb - a Django almost-clone of the original c2 wiki
• Three Hundred Songs - some words about some songs
• All my other junk on GitHub

I don't anticipate much new activity on this site soon, but you never know.

Cheers,
Simon
