Clone https://github.com/readevalprint/mini-django

$ docker build . -t mini-django
$ docker run -p 8000:8000 -v `pwd`:/app mini-django

and go to http://localhost:8000/Foo

An entire django app in a single file. Updated from here to use Django trunk. Works with Django 1.1 and 2.1.

This started off to see what the absolutely smallest requirements needed to run a Django project. Run the pico_django.py with $ PYTHONPATH=. django-admin.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --settings=pico_django and go to http://localhost:8000

Or with uwsgi in production:

$ uwsgi --http :8000 -M --pythonpath=. 
--env DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=pico_django \
-w "django.core.wsgi:get_wsgi_application()"

Soon pico needed a little more spice, so it got some template loading and then because I'm lazy I made the new version directly runnable. Run the mini_django.py with

$ python ./mini_django.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

and go to http://localhost:8000/Foo

Often I need to use django-rest-framework for a simple one-off task, thankfully, mini_django can be adapted quite easily into mini_api.py

$ python ./mini_api.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

and go to http://localhost:8000
