Django Extensions is a collection of custom extensions for the Django Framework.
The easiest way to figure out what Django Extensions are all about is to watch the excellent screencast by Eric Holscher. In a couple minutes Eric walks you through a half a dozen command extensions.
You can get Django Extensions by using pip or easy_install:
$ pip install django-extensions or $ easy_install django-extensions
If you want to install it from source, grab the git repository from GitHub and run setup.py:
$ git clone git://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions.git $ cd django-extensions $ python setup.py install
Generate (and view) a graphviz graph of app models:
$ python manage.py graph_models -a -o myapp_models.png
Produce a tab-separated list of (url_pattern, view_function, name) tuples for a project:
$ python manage.py show_urls
Open Source projects can always use more help. Fixing a problem, documenting a feature, adding translation in your language. If you have some time to spare and like to help us, here are the places to do so:
