This post is by Martin Keegan, project lead on OpenSpending.
We’ve released v0.10 of the OpenSpending code, and made it live on
http://openspending.org/
Changes in v0.10:
-
Data loading has been separated from the main web application. Web-based and command-line tools for data wranglers to load/reload datasets
have been separated from the main end-user facing web application.
They now reside in separate code repositories; there has been signficant
reorganisation of the resulting source trees -
More tests. Test coverage and organisation has been improved, and considerably more
of the tests pass -
Model overhaul. The integration between python and MongoDB has been effectively replaced
-
Removed dependency on celery. Long-running import tasks used to use a third-party subsystem called
celery, which proved an administration and reliability hassle. It has
been replaced by our own code. -
Command line interface tidied up
-
Data-wrangler workflow improvements. Drop dataset is now supported, as are CLI and WUI tools for tagging CKAN packages for use with OpenSpending
