Bungalow Django Challenge

djangochallenge is an attempt at the Bungalow Django Challenge. It mainly uses two python libraries, django-csvimport and djangorestframework. Thus, to run the development server first install them with:

$ pip3 install djangorestframework django-csvimport

The House model is located here

After initializing the django environment (e.g. with python manage.py migrate), to import the data, run the command:

python3 manage.py importcsv --model='fungalow.Home' --delimiter=',' /path/to/challenge_data.csv

You can then view the data by navigating your browser to (http://127.0.0.1:8000/homes/)

Notes

Many columns have blank data, so an attempt at made at making the schema forgiving enough to allow this data. Unfortunately the CSV import tool will not deal with blank columns well, so the data that ends up in the database after the importcsv is incorrect.
