INTRODUCTION 

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid

development and clean, pragmatic design. Built by experienced developers, it
takes care of much of the hassle of Web development, so you can focus on
writing your app without needing to reinvent the wheel. It’s free and open
source.
