django-flags

What it is and what it does

Django-Flags is a feature flag system that lets you control feature availability in Django applications without redeploying code. You define flags in Django settings or the admin interface and toggle them based on conditions—date ranges, specific users, URL parameters, or custom logic—to stage rollouts, run A/B tests, or gate experimental features.

The package integrates directly into Django's template system and Python code, so you can wrap features in conditional blocks that check flag state at runtime. Flags are editable through Django's admin interface, making it possible for non-developers to manage feature availability. It requires Python 3.10+ and Django 4.2+, and has no additional runtime dependencies beyond Django itself.

Use it for:

• Stage feature rollouts gradually to users by enabling a flag for a percentage of traffic or specific user groups.
• Run A/B tests by toggling different code paths for different user segments based on flag conditions.
• Disable problematic features in production without redeploying by flipping a flag in the admin interface.
• Test new functionality in production with a small set of users before full release.
• Manage time-limited features or promotions that activate on specific dates.

Installing django-flags

Before you install

Low install friction: pure Python wheel with only Django as a runtime dependency. Active maintenance with a recent release (185 days ago) and ongoing commits; supports current Python versions (3.10–3.13) and modern Django versions (4.2–6.0).

License in practice

Licensed under CC0-1.0 (public domain equivalent), which is permissive and imposes no restrictions on use, modification, or redistribution in your own projects.

Quickstart

pip install django-flags

# In settings.py, add to INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'flags',
]

# In your view or template:
from flags.conditions import flag_enabled

if flag_enabled('my_feature'):
    # Feature code here
    pass

Requires Django 4.2+ and Python 3.10+; you must add 'flags' to INSTALLED_APPS for the app to function.
