About dpaste
dpaste is a simple, open-source pastebin application built with Django for sharing text and code snippets. Pastes get short URLs that are easy to remember and share, with syntax highlighting and expiry options. The public instance is free to use, and because the MIT-licensed code is available, teams can also run private dpaste instances on their own infrastructure.
