Reference

Quick-lookup tables for the things you reach for repeatedly: Django's settings shape, the data models bundled with the contrib apps, and the dependency graph.

Sub-pages

• Configuration — the most important settings, where they're read, and which subsystem owns them.
• Data models — the models shipped by django.contrib.* and their relationships.
• Dependencies — runtime, optional, test, and docs dependencies.

For the canonical, exhaustive references, see the user docs at docs.djangoproject.com. This wiki section is the engineer-oriented short version.
