Made a little library to ensure that #SQLite is setup for production use in #Django.

Based mostly on https://blog.pecar.me/sqlite-django-config from @anze3db.
Stumbled on @jacob's post on "Dynamic form generation".
It's got a big warning at the top:
> I wrote this post in 2010, more than 15 years ago. It may be very out of date…
Meh. Not really #Django

Edit: Added link
This week I finally figured out how to do something in #Django that had frustrated me before. I am still fighting my way through discovering how to compose things out of Django's constituent parts. http://trainedmonkey.com/2025/07/26/using_autocompleteselect_in_a_django_admin_form
I can not underline it enough.
You are learning? (I am always learning)
You are new to this technology/library/tool?
Go read the source code. It will teach SOOO MUCH.
I still love reading #django source code, it is mostly very readable. Any other tool and library is worth it, you will always learn something!
TIL: #Django Rest Framework includes a rate limiting mechanism and custom throttling built on Djangos caching system - implement the .allow_request method to let things through and the .wait method to provide a retry-after header in the 429 response https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/throttling/
