No, unless you are maintaining a legacy Django project already using this package. The package is dormant (last release 2018-03-15), declares support only for end-of-life Python versions (2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6), and offers no assurance of compatibility with modern Django or Python. Modern alternatives or direct Bootstrap integration in templates are safer choices for new projects.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django and a compatible Python version; package classifiers list only Python 2.7 and 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, all end-of-life.
- Compatibility with modern Python and Django versions is unverified.
- High install friction: the package is dormant (last commit 2024-03-07, 3074 days since release) and declares support only for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, all of which are end-of-life.

What it is and what it does
django-bootstrap-form is a Django template tag library that automatically renders form fields with Bootstrap CSS classes and markup. It provides three template filters—bootstrap, bootstrap_inline, and bootstrap_horizontal—to style forms in different layouts without writing custom HTML for each field.
The package is a thin wrapper around Django's form rendering system, designed to integrate Bootstrap styling into templates with minimal code. It has no runtime dependencies and is installed as a Django app. However, the project is dormant: the latest release was 2018-03-15, and the classifiers declare support only for Python 2.7 and Python 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, all end-of-life versions. Using it on modern Python and Django versions carries compatibility risk.
Use it for
- Quickly style a Django form with Bootstrap classes without writing custom form templates for each field.
- Convert an existing Django form to a Bootstrap-styled vertical, inline, or horizontal layout in a template.
- Prototype a Django admin or user-facing form with Bootstrap styling for rapid development.
- Maintain a legacy Django project that already uses this package and Bootstrap.
