Installation

Download the library

Firstly, you’ll need to install django-recurrence from PyPI. The easiest way to do this is with pip:

pip install django-recurrence

Then, make sure recurrence is in your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
  ...
  'recurrence',
)

Supported Django and Python versions

Currently, django-recurrence supports Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.3 and Python 3.4. Python 3 support is experimental (we run our tests against Python 3, but have not yet tried it in production).

django-recurrence works with Django from versions 1.4 to 1.7 (though note that Django 1.4 does not support Python 3, Django 1.7 does not support Python 2.6, and Python 3.4 is only supported with Django 1.7).

Set up internationalization

Note

If you just want to use the en translation, you can skip this step.

If you want to use a translation of django-recurrence other than en, you’ll need to ensure django-recurrence’s JavaScript can access the translation strings. This is handled with Django’s built in javascript_catalog view, which you install by adding the following to your urls.py file:

# If you already have a js_info_dict dictionary, just add
# 'recurrence' to the existing 'packages' tuple.
js_info_dict = {
    'packages': ('recurrence', ),
}

# jsi18n can be anything you like here
urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    (r'^jsi18n/$', 'django.views.i18n.javascript_catalog', js_info_dict),
)

Configure static files

django-recurrence includes some static files (all to do with rendering the JavaScript widget that makes handling recurring dates easier). To ensure these are served correctly, you’ll probably want to ensure you also have django.contrib.staticfiles in your INSTALLED_APPS setting, and run:

python manage.py collectstatic
