I have an issue with co-ordinate transform from within Django, to do with SRID 29902 (Irish National Grid).
/usr/share/proj/epsg contains the following line:
<29902> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=53.5 +lon_0=-8 +k=1.000035 +x_0=200000 +y_0=250000 +a=6377340.189 +b=6356034.447938534 +units=m +no_defs +datum=ire65 <>
And this works from the command line:
$ cs2cs -f "%.15f" +init=epsg:29902 +to +init=epsg:4326

Setting up tweet2voice on a Mac
# Open a Terminal window, and then one by one type the things after the $ signs below, wait for a new prompt before the next command.
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv
# Will print out some stuff, hopefully nothing that looks like an error
$ virtualenv tweet2voice
# Will print out some more stuff
$ cd tweet2voice
$ source bin/activate
# The bit before the $ will now change a bit.

This basic GM script adds a "Pull requests only" tickbox to your dashboard issue pages on GitHub; clicking it hides non-PR issues. It doesn't work over pagination (without a refresh) or other things like that.
// ==UserScript==
// @name GitHub Assigned Issues Pull Requests tickbox
// @namespace github-assigned-issues-pull-requests
// @version 1.0
// @description Show only pull requests on the Assigned Issues dashboard page (e.g. https://github.com/dashboard/issues/assigned or the similar org page)
// @match *://github.com/dashboard/issues/*
// @match *://github.com/organizations/*/dashboard/issues/*
// @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js

Upgrading Django 1.1 to 1.5 validation issue

I'm upgrading an old Django 1.1 project to a clean Django 1.5 installation. The Django upgrade itself has gone very well; {% url %} changes, settings, some class-based generic views, some core patches replaced with a custom User model, others done with nicer middleware, and so on, hooray.

What I didn't expect to stop working, but has, is a model creation form that lets someone add a related object at the same time. In the code, this is done using a MultiValueField subclass:

class AutoCompleteMultiValueField(forms.MultiValueField):
    def __init__(self, model, column, *args, **kwargs):
        self.model = model
        self.column = column
        super(AutoCompleteMultiValueField, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
