It provides a full-featured, draggable dashboard with collapsible modules, a customizable menu bar, and tools to simplify admin theming\u2014allowing developers to replace Django's default admin look and layout with branded or improved versions.\n\nThe package has no runtime dependencies and installs as a pure Python wheel. It was actively maintained through Django 4.0 support (as of version 0.9.2 in December 2021) and received its final release in August 2023. However, the project is now abandoned with no active development, meaning it will not receive updates for newer Django or Python versions, and any bugs or security issues discovered will not be patched.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Django 1.11\u20134.0 and Python 2.7 or 3.5\u20133.9 and need admin customization without active maintenance risk. No, if you require ongoing security updates, compatibility with Django 4.1+, or expect future feature development\u2014the project is abandoned and will not evolve. Evaluate whether your Django/Python versions are locked to the supported range and whether the customization features justify accepting a frozen, unmaintained dependency."},"id":"django-admin-tools","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-admin-tools","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-admin-tools.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-admin-tools/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-admin-tools","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A collection of tools for the django administration interface"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":208704,"position":9527,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.9.3"}
