When two users fetch the same record and both try to save changes, the second save fails with a RecordModifiedError, alerting the application that a conflict occurred. This prevents silent data loss in concurrent editing scenarios.\n\nThe package works by intercepting model saves and comparing the current version field value against what was fetched from the database. It can be applied to any Django model, including those from third-party packages like django.contrib.auth. It handles Django admin list-editable changeists, admin actions, and can even detect changes made outside Django (via database tools) using a TriggerVersionField variant. No runtime dependencies are required beyond Django itself.","worth_installing":"Yes. django-concurrency is actively maintained, has no external dependencies, supports current Django and Python versions, carries an MIT license, and solves a real problem in multi-user Django applications. Install it if your application allows concurrent editing and you need to detect and handle conflicts rather than silently overwriting data."},"id":"django-concurrency","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-concurrency","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/django-concurrency.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/django-concurrency/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-08","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"django-concurrency","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Optimistic lock implementation for Django.
