About Django

Django is a free and open-source web framework, written in Python, which follows the model-view-template architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation, an independent organization established as a 501 non-profit.

Components

Despite having its own nomenclature, such as naming the callable objects generating the HTTP responses "views",the core Django framework can be seen as an MVC architecture. It consists of an object-relational mapper (ORM) that mediates between data models (defined as Python classes) and a relational database ("Model"), a system for processing HTTP requests with a web templating system ("View"), and a regular-expression-based URL dispatcher ("Controller").

Also included in the core framework are:

a lightweight and standalone web server for development and testing

a form serialization and validation system that can translate between HTML forms and values suitable for storage in the database

a template system that utilizes the concept of inheritance borrowed from object-oriented programming

a caching framework that can use any of several cache methods

a serialization system that can produce and read XML and/or JSON representations of Django model instances

an interface to Python's built-in unit test framework
