Django aims to follow Python's `"batteries included" philosophy`_. It ships
|
|
|
|
|
with a variety of extra, optional tools that solve common Web-development
|
|
|
|
|
problems.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.admin'``) to your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting and re-run
|
|
|
|
|
``manage.py syncdb``.
