web5design/django-ace-editor

Django-ace-editor is an implementation of the ajax.org Ace editor as a form widget.

Django Ace Editor

It's only supported by Python 1.3 as we make use of staticfiles bundled with the application.

Basic usage

import ace_editor

class MyAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    some_code = forms.CharField(widget=ace_editor.CodeEditorWidget())

You can also specify which language you are editing in which will set the appropriate syntax highlighting and static analysis:

class MyAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
    custom_css = forms.CharField(widget=ace_editor.CodeEditorWidget(mode='css'))

Installation

You'll need to have django.contrib.staticfiles in INSTALLED_APPS and have set STATIC_URL so the apps js/css files can load.

pip install -e git+git://github.com/Celc/markdown-urlize.git#egg=markdown-urlize

Add ace_editor to your INSTALLED_APPS.
