Django Werkzeug

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
