During constantly bettering today I got around to forking two small tools I wrote from their parent codebases and uploading them to GitHub/PyPI.
wagtailimporter is a Django app that reads Wagtail pages from a yaml file and imports them into the database. It’s designed to handle pages in a much neater way than DB fixtures, including things like foreign key lookups (via Yaml objects) and inline support for StreamField. It’s sort of a work in progress, where I’m adding more support for things as needed.
django_loaddata_stdin is a very small utility that extends Django’s loaddata command to support reading from stdin. This is extremely useful when you have fragments of site config loaded into the database (e.g. Django sites, Allauth socialaccounts), but you don’t want this in a fixture file committed to revision control.
For instance, to deploy my site into Docker, where I don’t have site-config fixture files built into the containers.
docker-compose run web ./manage.py loaddata --format=yaml - << EOF <paste> EOF
