Add people to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...,
    'people',
)

Run the South migrations:

./manage.py migrate people

Usage

Use the Django admin to create your person objects. If you are using django-cms you can use the Person Plugin to display a person in your placeholders.

Settings

PERSON_PLUGIN_DISPLAY_TYPE_CHOICES

Default:

[
    ('small', _('small')),
    ('big', _('big')),
]

When using the Person Plugin in your django-cms placeholders you will notice that you only have two choices for the Display type. This field can be helpful when you want to render a person differently in different parts of your site. If you need even more display types, just set this setting to a different list of tuples.
