A collection if things to address, based on the feedback from the survey we are running - https://www.hacksoft.io/blog/django-styleguide-survey:
- Explain why we are approaching this with a service layer & not custom model methods / custom managers & querysets
- Add reasoning about the lack of ModelViewSet / other DRF generics
- When to use function-based or class-based services
- Make it clear, that you can cherry-pick things that you like from this particular styleguide. By no means you should follow it entirely.
- Explain why we are not following strict REST
- Working with M2M fields (services, selectors) 🤔
- pre-commit hooks 🤔
- Non-API perspective (classic views + templates)
- Async 🤔
- Recommend default test runner (pytest)
- Check https://github.com/kiwicom/pytest-recording / https://github.com/betamaxpy/betamax
- Add alternative to the "giant test folder" from here - https://github.com/HackSoftware/Django-Styleguide#naming-conventions (test per module, as in JavaScript world)
- Explain API error formatting better
- Explain the combination of 12factor app & settings files.
- Add section about i18n/l10
- Beginner tutorials - how to get from the official Django tutorial to Django Styleguide
- Add a dedicated section about signals
- Add a dedicated section about management commands (for example - doing some kind of data migration outside a data migration)

Reviewing this list I feel the point:
Check https://github.com/kiwicom/pytest-recording / https://github.com/betamaxpy/betamax
Should also include https://github.com/kevin1024/vcrpy which is far more popular.
