Source code
Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out. You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics ) next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto ) for specific problems, and check out the reference ( docs/ref ) for gory details. See docs/README for instructions on building an HTML version of the docs.

Django (/ˈdʒæŋɡoʊ/ JANG-goh; sometimes stylized as django) is a free and open-source, Python-based web framework that runs on a web server. It follows the model–template–views (MTV) architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established in the US as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
