About dpaste.com

The story

I created this pastebin in 2006 for fellow early-adopter Django coders in Freenode's #django IRC channel. By Django 1.0 (2008), the "Share this traceback" button using dpaste.com was added to Django's debug page, and it remains there today.

(See the Scripts, Tools, Integrations section of the Help page for other projects that have adopted it since then.)

I've made regular improvements over the years, and strive to keep it useful and reliable. I welcome comments and questions.

Base 32 IDs

Item IDs are base 32. They are case-insensitive but uppercase is canonical. The digit set omits 0, 1, O, and I to reduce ambiguity (making it easier to read one to somebody, or transcribe one without copy/paste).
