A web framework provides common patterns for building reliable, scalable web applications. Django is a popular Python-based web framework that follows the model-view-template pattern. It enables rapid development of secure, maintainable websites. Virtual environments allow Django projects to be executed separately without dependency conflicts. Developers create virtual environments, install Django within them, then generate Django projects containing apps, models, views and other core components.

much more.

Python package.

successor to WSGI. It provides standard for asynchronous and
synchronous apps.

deployment.
