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.

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.admin') to your INSTALLED_APPS setting and re-run manage.py syncdb.

admin

The automatic Django administrative interface. For more information, see Tutorial 2 and the admin documentation.

Requires the auth and contenttypes contrib packages to be installed.

auth

Django’s authentication framework.

See Идентификация пользователей в Django.

comments

A simple yet flexible comments system. See Django’s comments framework.

contenttypes

A light framework for hooking into “types” of content, where each installed Django model is a separate content type.

See the contenttypes documentation.

csrf

A middleware for preventing Cross Site Request Forgeries

See the csrf documentation.

flatpages

A framework for managing simple “flat” HTML content in a database.

See the flatpages documentation.

Requires the sites contrib package to be installed as well.
