``contrib`` packages
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Django aims to follow Python's `"batteries included" philosophy`_. It ships
|
|
with a variety of extra, optional tools that solve common Web-development
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
This code lives in ``django/contrib`` in the Django distribution. This document
|
|
gives a rundown of the packages in ``contrib``, along with any dependencies
|
|
those packages have.
|
|
|
|
.. admonition:: Note
|
|
|
|
For most of these add-ons -- specifically, the add-ons that include either
|
|
models or template tags -- you'll need to add the package name (e.g.,
|
|
``'django.contrib.redirects'``) to your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting
|
|
and re-run ``manage.py migrate``.
