Programming is passion made real
Working on Banjo Blog, nearly the only thing remaining before my initial release is a trackback/pingback system.
Oddly enough, there isn’t any django trackback app in the wild, at least not any I could find. So, I looked around and found only half-written stuff, hacky garbage and tblib, which is too old, not Django aware, and GPL. Banjo is BSD and it is going to stay that way, thank you.
So, I wrote my own.
Thanks to Andy C I’ve finished the WordPress import script for Banjo.
That article gives instructions for direct SQL loading of a somewhat different blog database. I couldn’t use it directly for Banjo, partially because I’m through with using MySQL. I just can’t take all the UTF problems any more. I’ve gone all PostgreSQL all the time.
So my solution needed to speak MySQL and then directly create objects in Django. That way it could be used for any target database.
