I'm looking for a preexisting Django app providing user to user private messaging. I've seen django-pm and django-messages, neither of which appear to be in particularly active development. Is there really nothing out there?

  • the inbuilt django contrib messages! – crodjer Jan 02 '11 at 07:29

    That's intended for messages from the system to a user, not user <-> user. It "allows you to temporarily store messages in one request and retrieve them for display in a subsequent request (usually the next one)" – marqueed Jan 02 '11 at 07:32

I know this question is a bit old, but this looks promising django-postman. I'm about to try it out for a project I'm working on.

I found it here:

http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/messaging/

If you haven't seen it before Django Packages is a great site for finding django apps that do all sorts of stuff.

  • I saw that one, but it's pretty much inactive. No changes on svn since 2007. [django-messages](http://code.google.com/p/django-messages/) is less inactive, but it's been a year since any movement. – marqueed Jan 02 '11 at 07:30
  • This might be a lot of work, that you really don't want to do, but you could try to look at some django forum apps and pull the user to user message from that. – Alex Jan 02 '11 at 07:45
  • I thought about that, and I'm running on 1.3b1. So I felt that it wasn't worth the hassle. And (famous last words), I'm only looking for something relatively simple, so I'm going to give the roll-your-own method a shot. – marqueed Jan 02 '11 at 08:07
  • Was about to post the same question. Please let us know when u find/come up with something. – zsquare Jan 03 '11 at 05:19
  • Always share the rollyourown methods - especially if it's "relatively simple" - someone may built on top of it – zalun Dec 20 '11 at 09:42
