Bootstrap 3 for Django
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you are maintaining an existing Django project on Bootstrap 3 and need ongoing bug fixes and security updates. No, if you are starting a new project—use django-bootstrap5 instead. The package is stable and actively maintained for critical issues, but the maintainers explicitly recommend migration to Bootstrap 5 when feasible.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

What it is and what it does
django-bootstrap3 is a Django template library that wraps Bootstrap 3 components into reusable template tags, letting you render styled forms, buttons, alerts, and other UI elements without writing raw HTML. It integrates directly into Django's template system via the `bootstrap3` template tag library.
The package is now in maintenance mode because Bootstrap 3 has been superseded by Bootstrap 4 and 5. It will receive bug fixes and security updates but no new features. If you are starting a new project, the maintainers recommend using Bootstrap 5 via django-bootstrap5 instead. For existing projects still on Bootstrap 3, this package remains stable and actively maintained for critical issues.
Use it for
- Quickly style Django forms with Bootstrap 3 classes and layout without manual HTML markup.
- Render consistent Bootstrap 3 buttons, alerts, and other components across a legacy Django application.
- Maintain an existing Django project that depends on Bootstrap 3 while receiving security and bug-fix updates.
- Prototype a Django admin interface or internal tool with Bootstrap 3 styling using template tags.
