Does this mean it will be part of the upcoming 1.2 release? I am never quite sure if, when the documentation says “development version” that it means “in the version to be released…”?

Marco: Oh awesome, great find. That’ll make this whole thing much easier, especially for unit testing.

Check this out. Apparently the dev track of django has some some solutions for this. Email Backends.

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/email/#e-mail-backends

So then you just put this in your settings.

EMAIL_BACKEND = ‘django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend’

And emails are printed to the terminal instead.

Marco: No problem, glad I could help. Stuff like this is old hat to Django veterans, but it’s not easy for beginner or intermediate developers to stumble upon.

Thanks a bunch. This is exactly what I was looking for. I agree that the django dev setup should come with some sort of solution for this.
