Django is a widely used Python web application framework with a "batteries-included" philosophy. The principle behind batteries-included is that the common functionality for building web applications should come with the framework instead of as a separate library. For example, URL routing, a templating system, object-relational mapper, and database schema migrations (as of version 1.7) are all included with the Django framework.
