contrib packages¶
GingerDJ aims to follow Python’s “batteries included” philosophy. It ships with a variety of extra, optional tools that solve common web development problems.
This code lives in gingerdj/contrib in the GingerDJ distribution. This document
gives a rundown of the packages in contrib, along with any dependencies
those packages have.

For most of these add-ons – specifically, the add-ons that include either

and rerun manage.py migrate.
