``django-downloadview`` makes it easy to serve files with `Django`_:

* you manage files with Django (permissions, filters, generation, ...);

* files are stored somewhere or generated somehow (local filesystem, remote

  storage, memory...);

* ``django-downloadview`` helps you stream the files with very little code;

* ``django-downloadview`` helps you improve performances with reverse proxies,

  via mechanisms such as Nginx's X-Accel or Apache's X-Sendfile.

*******

Example

*******

Let's serve a file stored in a file field of some model:

.. code:: python

   from django.conf.urls import url, url_patterns

   from django_downloadview import ObjectDownloadView

   from demoproject.download.models import Document  # A model with a FileField

   # ObjectDownloadView inherits from django.views.generic.BaseDetailView.

   download = ObjectDownloadView.as_view(model=Document, file_field='file')

   url_patterns = ('',

       url('^download/(?P[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/$', download, name='download'),

   )
