Django Werkzeug

Current version on PyPI

Enhances Django runserver with Werkzeug.

This project uses Django Extensions under the hood. It "wraps" it, along
with Werkzeug, so you don't have to add an explicit werkzeug dependency
to your requirements.txt or remember a new command.

Why

Werkzeug and its builtin error page has proven to be indispensable in a number
of Django projects. While Django Extensions is also a great tool, the full
extent of it is not always needed in specific projects.

Also, when committing to Werkzeug, it's convenient to run the runserver
instead of learning a new command. This brings newcomers to your team up to
speed without further instruction and doesn't require existing members to
change their muscle memory during their day-to-day.

If you want to use Werkzeug on certain projects, but don't want to keep track
of which ones, this package is for you.

Requirements

Django Werkzeug requires Django 1.8 or later.

Installation

$ pip install django-werkzeug

Then enable it by adding it to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django_werkzeug',
    ...
]

Usage

$ python manage.py runserver

Or to run Django's classic builtin server, run:

$ python manage.py runserver_classic
