django-resto 1.0.1

django-resto (REplicated STOrage) provides file storage backends that can store files coming into a Django site on several servers simultaneously, using HTTP. HybridStorage will store the files locally on the filesystem and remotely, while DistributedStorage will only store them remotely.

This works for files uploaded by users through the admin or through custom Django forms, and also for files created by the application code, provided it uses the standard storage API.

django-resto is useful for sites deployed in a multi-server environment, in order to accept uploaded files and have them available on all media servers immediately for subsequent web requests that could be routed to any machine.

django-resto is a fork of django_dust with a strong focus on consistency, while django_dust is more concerned with availability. The two projects cover different use-cases.

django-resto is released under the BSD license, like Django itself.
