Opensource real django projects

Question

Hi folks, I'm trying to learn Django. And need something to go beyond Hello world and Polls tutorial. Could you please recomend any real project written in Django? Tried to search, but found not many. Especialy interested in usage of buildout.

Answer 1

My project, Open Knesset, is a django based project that uses data scraped from the israeli parliament (the knesset), analyses it, and presents it to users in more friendly and informative ways.
We use buildout.
The main repo is here in github.

Another place you should look at is djangosites.org, they have a list of django powered sites with source code available.

Answer 2

You could try OSQA. It's an open source Stack Exchange clone and a Django project, go to their Meta Site to see it in action.

Answer 3

Pinax and Satchmo is the two most popular django opensource project. You will learn alot beyond just hello world, especially best-practices.
