Django utility methods (including New Relic deployment notification)

So we’ve moved to Github here at Infoxchange as our primary development platform because pull requests and Travis CI are much nicer than yelling across the room at each other ((big shout out to both Github and Travis CI for supporting our not-for-profit mission with gratis private accounts)). To enable Travis to build our code, we’ve needed to move our little utility libraries to Github too. Since some of these were already on pip, it made sense to open source the rest of them too.

The most useful is a package called IXDjango which includes a number of generally useful management commands for Django developers. Especially useful are deploy which will run a sequence of other commands for deployment, and newrelic_notify_deploy which you can use to notify New Relic of your deployment, which annotates all of your graphs with the version number.

We hope these are useful to people.
