====================
``contrib`` packages
====================
Django aims to follow Python's :ref:`"batteries included" philosophy
<tut-batteries-included>`. It ships with a variety of extra, optional tools
that solve common web development problems.
This code lives in :source:`django/contrib` in the Django distribution. This
document gives a rundown of the packages in ``contrib``, along with any
dependencies those packages have.
.. admonition:: Including ``contrib`` packages in ``INSTALLED_APPS``
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 rerun ``manage.py migrate``.
