This project is obsolete. No further Django release will be available. Check the current Mia! Accounting project for Flask, and the current Mia! Accounting live demonstration.
This is the last release of Django. It will be replaced by a new Flask release, starting from scratch. Do not upgrade to the next release, as it will not work.
This was my first large Python project, and at that time, I had zero experience with Django. I ended up in a mess with Django MVT. The code is unnecessarily complicated, and I do not actually know how the views work anymore.
If you are new to the Mia! Accounting project, please skip this and try the new release. You may contact me if you have problems with the existing installation, but I may not be able to help you.
mia-accounting is a Django accounting application. It was rewritten from my own private accounting application in Perl/mod_perl in 2007. The revision aims to be mobile-friendly with Bootstrap, with a modern back-end framework and front-end technology like jQuery. The first revision was in Perl/Mojolicious in 2019. This is the second revision in Python/Django in 2020.
The Mia! Accounting Django application comes with two parts:
- The
accountingapplication contains the main accounting application. - The
mia_coreapplication contains core shared libraries that are used by theaccountingapplication and my other applications.
You may try it in live demonstration at:

The Mia! Accounting Django application requires Python 3.7 and Django 3.1.
Install mia-accounting-django with pip.
pip install mia-accounting-django
Add these two applications in the INSTALL_APPS section of your
settings.py.
INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'mia_core.apps.MiaCoreConfig', 'accounting.apps.AccountingConfig', ... ]
Make sure the locale middleware is in the MIDDLEWARE section of
your settings.py, and add it if it is not added yet.
MIDDLEWARE = [ ... 'django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware', ... ]
Add the accounting application in the urlpatterns in your
urls.py.
urlpatterns = [
...
path('accounting/', decorator_include(login_required, 'accounting.urls')),
...
]
Make sure i18n and jsi18n are also in the urlpatterns of
your urls.py, and add them if they are not added yet.
urlpatterns = [
...
path('i18n/', include("django.conf.urls.i18n")),
path('jsi18n/', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), name='javascript-catalog'),
...
]
Add the following to the very beginning of your base template
base.html, before your first real HTML tag.
{% load mia_core %}
{% init_libs %}
{% block settings %}{% endblock %}
Add the CSS and JavaScripts in the <head>...</head> section of your
base template base.html.
{% for css in libs.css %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% if css|is_static_url %}{% static css %}{% else %}{{ css }}{% endif %}" />
{% endfor %}
{% for js in libs.js %}
<script src="{% if js|is_static_url %}{% static js %}{% else %}{{ js }}{% endif %}"></script>
{% endfor %}
Run the management commands to initialize the database.
./manage.py migrate accounting ./manage.py accounting_accounts
Optionally you can populate the database with some sample data.
./manage.py accounting_sample
And you are done.
The following management commands are added by the Mia! Accounting Django
application to manage.py:
% ./manage.py accounting_accounts [--user USER]
Fills the database with the accounting accounts.
--userUSERAn optional user to specify which user these initial accounts belongs to. When omitted, the first user found in the system will be used.
% ./manage.py accounting_sample [--user USER]
Fills the database with sample accounting data.
--userUSERAn optional user to specify which user these initial accounts belongs to. When omitted, the first user found in the system will be used.
% ./manage.py make_trans --domain DOMAIN APP_DIR1 [APP_DIR2 ...]
Updates the revision date, converts the Traditional Chinese
translation into Simplified Chinese, and then calls the
compilemessages command.
--domainDOMAINThe message domain, either
djangoordjangojs.APP_DIR1 [APP_DIR2 ...]
One or more application directories that contains their
localesubdirectories.
The following advanced settings are available in settings.py.
