About Django

from the package's own PyPI description — quoted content, verbatim

====== Django ======

Django is a high-level Python web framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. Thanks for checking it out.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/. If you're just getting started, here's how we recommend you read the docs:

First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.
Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt, docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/howto/deployment/index.txt for instructions.
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.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket here: https://code.djangoproject.com/newticket

AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Django is a high-level Python web framework for building database-backed web applications with an emphasis on rapid development and clean, pragmatic design.

Django installs with minimal friction—a pure-wheel distribution and only three lightweight runtime dependencies (asgiref, sqlparse, tzdata). The project is actively maintained with a recent release and strong repository engagement, indicating reliable ongoing support.

Django is licensed under BSD-3-Clause, a permissive open-source license that allows commercial use, modification, and redistribution with minimal restrictions, making it safe for both proprietary and open-source projects.

Usage

pip install Django==6.1

import django
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

# Configure minimal settings and run management commands
execute_from_command_line(['manage.py', 'startproject', 'myproject'])

Requires Python 3.12 or later; a database backend (e.g. SQLite, PostgreSQL) is needed for production use.

Verdict: Django 6.1 is a production-stable, actively maintained web framework with no known vulnerabilities, permissive BSD-3-Clause licensing, and low install friction. Its mature ecosystem and recent release cycle make it a reliable choice for web application development.

Needs verification

Whether the fact sheet's snapshot reflects the full scope of Django's optional dependencies (e.g., database drivers, caching backends) that users may need to install separately.
Whether there are any known security advisories or CVEs not yet reflected in the OSV database as of 2026-08-13.
