Prototypes Sharing and Services Full Django in a Single File
summary
Demonstrates how to run full Django in a single file with working views, models, admin, migrations, and a Django Ninja API by wrapping Django startup and app registration into a Nanojango tool that monkey‑patches Django’s model metaclass and app registry to avoid import loops. Shows run and convert commands (convert auto‑refactors the single file into a standard project), supports async views, embedded templates, integrations (Django Style, Nano Pages, Django Distill), and a Pyodide‑based playground runs in the browser. A colleague’s Nanojango API is about 30% shorter than the FastAPI original.
