django-ticketing 0.6.2

django-ticketing is an implementation of a Django model that returns tickets, as described by the Flickr blog post.

Installation

I uploaded it to PyPi, so you can grab it there if you'd like with

pip install django-ticketing

or install with pip the git address:

pip install git+git@github.com:streeter/django-ticketing.git

You're choice.

Usage

To use this, you can either use the model interface, or just the shortcut function defined in ticketing.models. That usage looks like the following:

# Import the function
from ticketing.models import get_ticket
# Go get yourself a ticket
ticket = get_ticket()
# Boom. That just happened

This assumes you've had the single table that needs to be created in the DB, in other words, run syncdb or migrated with South.

Testing

There are some tests included. To run those tests, simply execute runtests.py:

[streeter] $ python runtests.py
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 7 tests in 0.441s

OK
[streeter] $

The test suite can run on all DB backends supported by Django. By default it runs using sqlite3. To run on MySQL, uncomment the section in runtests.py and then create a DB that Django can connect to, and give the Django user permissions to create a new testing DB, run the following commands:

mysql -h localhost -u root -e "DROP DATABASE ticketing_test";
mysql -h localhost -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE ticketing_test";
mysql -h localhost -u root -e "GRANT ALL ON ticketing_test.* TO 'ticketing_test'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY ''"

Of course, you may need to change the host of the DB and user that connects, but you should get the idea.
