    Tweaked default settings file.

    * Explained why BASE_DIR exists.

      top.

    Adjusted the default URLconf detection to account for the admin.

    It's now enabled by default.

commit 5fb4da0d3d09dac28dd94e3fde92b9d4335c0565
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Tue Jan 29 10:36:55 2013 +0100

    Added security warnings for the most sensitive settings.

commit 718d84bd8ac4a42fb4b28ec93965de32680f091e
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 23:24:06 2013 +0100

    Used an absolute path for the SQLite database.

    This ensures the settings file works regardless of which directory
    django-admin.py / manage.py is invoked from.

    BASE_DIR got a +1 from a BDFL and another core dev. It doesn't involve
    the concept of a "Django project"; it's just a convenient way to express
    relative paths within the source code repository for non-Python files.

    Thanks Jacob Kaplan-Moss for the suggestion.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 23:22:40 2013 +0100

    Removed STATIC_ROOT from the default settings template.

    It isn't necessary in development, and it confuses beginners to no end.

    Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 23:21:43 2013 +0100

    Removed MEDIA_ROOT/URL from default settings template.

    Many sites will never deal with user-uploaded files, and MEDIA_ROOT is
    complicated to explain.

    Thanks Carl Meyer for the suggestion.

commit 44bf2f2441420fd9429ee9fe1f7207f92dd87e70
Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 22:22:09 2013 +0100

    Removed logging config.

    This configuration is applied regardless of the value of LOGGING;
    duplicating it in LOGGING is confusing.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 22:05:31 2013 +0100

    Enabled the locale middleware by default.

    USE_I18N is True by default, and doesn't work well without
    LocaleMiddleware.

    Reorganized settings in logical sections, and trimmed comments.

Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:54:11 2013 +0100

    Avoided misleading TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG.

    According to the docs TEMPLATE_DEBUG works only when DEBUG = True.

Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:46:25 2013 +0100

    Removed STATICFILES_FINDERS/TEMPLATE_LOADERS from default settings file.

    Only developers with special needs ever need to change these settings.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>
Date:   Mon Jan 28 16:45:01 2013 +0100

    Removed STATICFILES/TEMPLATES_DIRS from default settings file.

    The current best practice is to put static files and templates in
    applications, for easier testing and deployment.

    Removed settings related to email reporting from default settings file.

    While handy for small scale projects, it isn't exactly a best practice.

    Documented how to enable the sites framework.

Author: Aymeric Augustin <aymeric.augustin@m4x.org>

    Disabled the sites framework by default.

    RequestSite does the job for single-domain websites.

    Everyone uses the admin.

Date:   Mon Jan 28 15:51:50 2013 +0100

    Normalized the default application template.

    Removed the default test that 1 + 1 = 2, because it's been committed
    way too many times, in too many projects.

    Added an import of `render` for views, because the first view will
    often be:

    def home(request):
        return render(request, "mysite/home.html")

Thanks Ian Kelly for the report and initial patch.

This reverts commit 2babab0b.

Also:

* Added a ``--no-startup`` option to disable this behavior. Previous
  logic to try to execute the code in charge of this funcionality was
  flawed (it only tried to do so if the user asked for ipython/bpython
  and they weren't found)
* Expand ``~`` in PYTHONSTARTUP value.

Thanks hekevintran at gmail dot com  for the report and initial patch.

Refs #3381.

Thanks Craig Blaszczyk for the initial patch. Refs #17181.

Thanks airstrike for the report and initial patch, Julien for an
enhanced patch and Jannis for reviewing.

Added -n to sphinx builds to catch issues going forward.

The auth doc was a single page which had grown unwieldy.
This refactor split and grouped the content into sub-topics.
Additional corrections and cleanups were made along the way.

Thanks Tim Graham for the review and suggestions.

thanks to Brent O'Connor for the idea and intial docs

Thanks d1ffuz0r for helping with the patch.

* Prevented stale session files from being loaded
* Added removal of stale session files in django-admin.py clearsessions

Thanks ej for the report, crodjer and Elvard for their inputs.

This removes a dependency of 'core' on 'contrib'.

Thanks to Roman Gladkov for the initial patch and Simon Charette for review.

Specify python interpreter interface ipython or bpython with the -i,
--interface options
argument.
 ex// python manage.py shell -i bpython
 ex// python manage.py shell --interface bpython

Like all other options, defaults to default python interpreter when your
selected choice isn't available.

updated documentation where appropriate

Thanks trey.smith@ for the report and vanessagomes for the patch.
