Django
Python web framework with an ORM, URL routing, templating, forms and an automatic admin interface.
www.djangoproject.com/repositorydocsplugins
Django builds pages on the server from Python code, with an ORM, URL routing, forms and an admin interface generated from model definitions. Its template system can be swapped for Jinja2. Production sites run behind a WSGI or ASGI server and serve static files separately, and the built-in development server is not meant for production. Django was open-sourced in 2005 by World Online, and the Django Software Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit, supports its development. The deployment how-to lists the WSGI and ASGI servers with official guides.
Worth knowing
Database backends beyond the officially supported ones, including SQL Server, MongoDB and Snowflake, come from third parties.
