Spirit

Build Status Coverage Status pypi licence

Spirit is a Python based forum built using the Django framework.

To see it in action, please visit The Spirit Project.

Compatibility

  • Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 (recommended)
  • Django 1.8 LTS
  • PostgreSQL (recommended), MySQL, Oracle Database and SQLite

Installing (Advanced)

Check out the example provided.

In short:

Add url(r'^', include('spirit.urls')), to your urls.py

Add from spirit.settings import * to the top of your settings.py file, otherwise you will have to setup all django's related constants (Installed_apps, Middlewares, Login_url, etc)

Run:

pip install django-spirit
python manage.py spiritinstall

You will need to setup a search engine, Spirit is configured to work with Woosh by default.

An email server is required, you can host your own (ie: exim), or hire an external service provider (ie: Mandrill).

Start a development server:

python manage.py runserver

Visit (http://127.0.0.1:8000/)

On production, you would rather run Spirit on a real web server. ie: gunicorn + Nginx. Running Spirit on a virtualenv is adviced.
