``contrib`` packages
 | 
						|
====================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Django 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 ``django/contrib`` in the Django distribution. This document
 | 
						|
gives a rundown of the packages in ``contrib``, along with any dependencies
 | 
						|
those packages have.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. admonition:: Note
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    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.redirects'``) to your :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting
 | 
						|
    and re-run ``manage.py migrate``.
