Installation

The easiest way to get django-disqus is if you have pip installed:

pip install django-disqus

Without pip, it’s still pretty easy. Download the django-disqus.tar.gz file from django-disqus’ PyPI page, untar it and run:

python setup.py install

Configuring your Django installation

First, add disqus to your INSTALLED_APPS. You don’t need to run syncdb as there are no models provided.

Next, add DISQUS_API_KEY and DISQUS_WEBSITE_SHORTNAME to your settings. You can get your API key here (you must be logged in on the DISQUS website). To see the shortname of your website, navigate to Settings->General on the DISQUS website.

Example settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
     ...
     'disqus',
 )

 DISQUS_API_KEY = 'FOOBARFOOBARFOOBARFOOBARFOOBARF'
 DISQUS_WEBSITE_SHORTNAME = 'foobar'
