- ====================
- ``contrib`` packages
- ====================
- Django aims to follow Python's :ref:`"batteries included" philosophy
- <tut-batteries-included>`. It ships with a variety of extra, optional tools
- that solve common web development problems.
- This code lives in :source:`django/contrib` in the Django distribution. This document
- gives a rundown of the packages in ``contrib``, along with any dependencies
- those packages have.
- .. admonition:: Including ``contrib`` packages in ``INSTALLED_APPS``
- For most of these add-ons -- specifically, the add-ons that include either
- models or template tags -- you'll need to add the package name (e.g.,
- ``'django.contrib.redirects'``) to your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting
- and rerun ``manage.py migrate``.
- .. toctree::
