A little django app that uses py-moneyed to add support for Money fields in your models and forms.
Fork of the django support that was in http://code.google.com/p/python-money/
This version adds tests, and comes with several critical bugfixes.
Via py-moneyed, django-moneyed gets:
- Support for proper Money value handling (using the standard Money design pattern)
- A currency class and definitions for all currencies in circulation
- Formatting of most currencies with correct currency sign
Clone and run the setup script:
git clone https://[email protected]/jakewins/django-money.git
cd django-money
python setup.py install
Use as normal model fields
import moneyed
from djmoney.models.fields import MoneyField
from django.db import models
class BankAccount(models.Model):
balance = MoneyField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, default_currency='USD')
Searching for models with money fields:
from moneyed import Money, USD, CHF
account = BankAccount(balance=Money(10, USD))
swissAccount = BankAccount(balance=Money(10, CHF))
account.save()
swissAccount.save()
BankAccount.objects.filter(balance__gt=Money(1, USD))
# Returns the "account" object
Django-money leaves you to use any custom model managers you like for your models, but it needs to wrap some of the methods to allow searching for models with money values.
This is done automatically for the "objects" attribute in any model that uses MoneyField. However, if you assign managers to some other attribute, you have to wrap your manager manually, like so:
from djmoney.models.managers import money_manager
class BankAccount(models.Model):
balance = MoneyField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2, default_currency='USD')
accounts = money_manager(MyCustomManager())
Also, the money_manager wrapper only wraps the standard QuerySet methods. If you define custom QuerySet methods, that do not end up using any of the standard ones (like "get", "filter" and so on), then you also need to manually decorate those custom methods, like so:
from djmoney.models.managers import understand_money
class MyCustomQuerySet(QuerySet):
@understand_money
def my_custom_method(*args,**kwargs):
# Awesome stuff
