My favorite Django packages Inspired by other posts I also wanted to write up a list of my favorite Django packages. Since I’ve been working in this space for so long and since I’m maintaining quite a large list of packages I worry a bit about tooting my own horn too much here; that said, the reasons for choosing some packages hopefully speak for themselves.
