High-level Python web development framework

Django is a high-level web application framework that loosely follows the model-view-controller design pattern.

Python's equivalent to Ruby on Rails, Django lets you build complex data-driven websites quickly and easily - Django focuses on automating as much as possible and adhering to the "Don't Repeat Yourself" (DRY) principle.

Django additionally emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components; many generic third-party "applications" are available to enhance projects or to simply to reduce development time even further.

Notable features include: 

 * An object-relational mapper (ORM)
 * Automatic admin interface
 * Elegant URL dispatcher
 * Form serialization and validation system
 * Templating system
 * Lightweight, standalone web server for development and testing
 * Internationalization support
 * Testing framework and client
