How to livereload Django templates?

Question

How can I livereload Django templates?

Answer 1

I found a Python native solution which is easy to setup and works well, Python LiveReload (doc).

pip install livereload
livereload /path/to/monitor

You still have to install the browser plugin. The plugin and LiveReload use port 35729 to talk (customizable), but you need to point the browser to the port specified via runserver. For example:

python manage.py runserver example.com:8000

In this case the live reloaded url is http://example.com:8000, and when you change your templates the page is refreshed automatically.

As a final note, Python live reload can also be used programmatically and supports wsgi applications.
