Experimental HTML templates linting for Jinja, Nunjucks, Django templates, Twig, Liquid
curlylint 
{{
🎀 }} Experimental HTML templates linting for Jinja, Nunjucks, Django templates, Twig, Liquid Forked from jinjalint.
Features
Curlylint is an HTML linter for “curly braces” templates, and their HTML. It focuses on rules to check for common accessibility issues.
On the roadmap:
- More checks for common accessibility issues in HTML.
- Checks for common security issues – for example
rel="noopener noreferrer", or known sources of XSS vulnerabilities. - More ideas welcome!
Usage
Curlylint is available on PyPI, grab it and you can start linting:
# Assuming you’re using Python 3.6+,
pip install curlylint
# Now time to lint those templates!

django-pgcrypto-fields
Transparent field level encryption for Django using the pgcrypto postgresql extension.
django-pgcrypto-fields
django-pgcrypto-fields is a Django extension which relies upon pgcrypto to
encrypt and decrypt data for fields.
Requirements
- postgres with
pgcrypto - Supports Django 2.2.x, 3.0.x, 3.1.x and 3.2.x
- Compatible with Python 3 only
Last version of this library that supports Django 1.8.x, 1.9.x, 1.10.x
was django-pgcrypto-fields 2.2.0.
Last version of this library that supports Django 2.0.x and 2.1.x was
was django-pgcrypto-fields 2.5.2.
Installation
Install package
pip install django-pgcrypto-fields
Django settings
Our library support different crypto keys for multiple databases by
defining the keys in your DATABASES settings.
In settings.py:
import os
BASEDIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
PUBLIC_PGP_KEY_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(BASEDIR, 'public.key'))
PRIVATE_PGP_KEY_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(BASEDIR, 'private.key'))

Chain multiple (disparate) QuerySets in Django
Django QuerySetSequence
django-querysetsequence adds helpers for treating multiple disparate QuerySet
obejcts as a single QuerySet. This is useful for passing into APIs that only
accepted a single QuerySet.
The QuerySetSequence wrapper is used to combine multiple QuerySet instances.
Overview
QuerySetSequence aims to provide the same behavior as Django's QuerySets
but applied across multiple QuerySet instances.
Supported features:
- Methods that take a list of fields (e.g.
filter(),exclude()get(),order_by()) must use fields that are common across all sub-QuerySets. - Relationships across related models work (e.g.
'foo__bar','foo', or'foo_id'). syntax). - The sub-
QuerySetsare evaluated as late as possible (e.g. during iteration, slicing, pickling,repr()/len()/list()/bool()calls). - Public
QuerySetAPI methods that are untested/unimplemented raiseNotImplementedError.
Getting Started
Install the package using pip.
pip install --upgrade django-querysetsequence
Basic Usage
# Import QuerySetSequence

An XSS fuzzer for Django
Django XSS Fuzzer
An XSS vulnerability fuzz tester for Django views.
This tester will inject XSS patterns into the context data for a template before it is rendered, including:
- Simple strings
- Attributes of Django ORM objects in QuerySets
The goal of this tool is to quickly find any XSS vulnerabilities in Django templates.
Any successful injections will write a message to the browser JavaScript console.
Installation
Install via pip
$ pip install django-xss-fuzzer
Add ViewFuzzerMiddleware to your middleware list for a test environment.
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django_xss_fuzzer.ViewFuzzerMiddleware'
]
Do not deploy this to a production server!
Configuration
Configure the middleware via the Django global settings.
-
XSS_PATTERN: An XSS patterns to try. See XSS Cheatsheet for inspiration. -
XSS_INJECT_KWARGS(Default False) : A switch to disable injecting XSS view function keyword arguments -
XSS_INJECT_CONTEXT_DATA(Default True) : A switch to disable injecting XSS into class data

🌱 Seed your Django database with fake data
Django-seed uses the faker library to generate test data for your Django models. This has been "hard-forked" from django_faker in order to support newer versions of Python and Django
Django-seed allows you to write code to generate models, and seed your database with one simple manage.py command!
Installation
To install django-seed, use pip:
pip install django-seed
Or to install from source:
python setup.py install
Configuration
Add it to your installed apps in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django_seed',
)
Usage
Note: When seeding models with Foreign Keys, you need to make sure that those models are seeded first. For example, if a model in app A has a foreign key to a model in app B, you must seed app B first.
Using with command
With django-seed, you can seed your database with test data from…
