Code examples for the talk "Behind the curtain - How Django handles a request" at DjangoCon Europe 2018.
Each sub-directory contains a small Django project.
- default
- A project with default structure and settings, generated with
django-admin.py startproject default - simple
- A really simple project
- middleware
- Like
simple, but with three middlewares that do nothing
The only external dependency is Django 2.0.x, meaning you have to use Python 3.4 or higher.
There is a requirements.txt file:
(venv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt
You can the change into one of the project directories and run the server.py script, which starts a server on 127.0.0.1:8000:
(venv) $ cd simple (venv) $ python server.py
Note that the server exits after handling a single request.
