A starting point (of potential tickets...).
django_initialiser
module is used. I can see the value of its __init__.py
in some contexts but wondering if those are still applicable.GeoDjango
should be available since 699a063. Does it make sense to add a PointField
to Place
in Gazetteer
and a MultiPolygonField
to Census Record
Might be worth having a peak at this @kallewesterling: maybe helpful agenda for a meeting. A significant refactor is done.
Sorry @griff-rees - I had missed your comment here.
Re: this
Not sure how the django_initialiser module is used. I can see the value of its init.py in some contexts but wondering if those are still applicable.
It is needed to load Django inside of a Jupyter notebook. We used it this summer to make sure that django is correctly set up, etc. in the top line of the notebook:
import django_initialiser
Ideally, we'd have instructions for how to do this more explicitly for folks who want to work with Jupyter Notebooks/Lab + the metadata db eventually... It was just a shortcut so I wouldn't have to spend time on it this past summer.
Thanks @kallewesterling and sorry for not replying sooner. I think this form is what's necessary for this: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeFLFSS2NEttNimGo-lZmDiSjWzcoefV8GojEZGHPd-YVtBkQ
I've created ticket #171 to address the first element on my list in the comment above
