What is "django"

Django, a Romani language nickname meaning "I awake", may refer to:

Django is a free and open-source web framework, written in Python, which follows the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern. It is maintained by the Django Software Foundation (DSF), an independent organization established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Django's primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. Django emphasizes reusability and "pluggability" of components, rapid development, and the principle of don't repeat yourself. Python is used throughout, even for settings files and data models. Django also provides an optional administrative create, read, update and delete interface that is generated dynamically through introspection and configured via admin models.

Some well-known sites that use Django include Pinterest, Instagram, Mozilla, The Washington Times, Disqus, the Public Broadcasting Service, Bitbucket, and Nextdoor.

Django (, ) is a 1966 Italian- Spanish Spaghetti Western film directed and co-written by Sergio Corbucci, starring Franco Nero in the title role alongside Loredana Nusciak, José Bódalo, Ángel Álvarez and Eduardo Fajardo. The film follows a Union soldier-turned- drifter and his companion, a half-breed prostitute, who become embroiled in a bitter, destructive feud between a Ku Klux Klan-esque gang of Confederate racists and a band of Mexican revolutionaries. Intended to capitalize on and rival the success of Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars, Corbucci's film is, like Leone's, considered to be a loose, unofficial adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo.

The film earned a reputation as one of the most violent films ever made at the time, and was subsequently refused a certificate in the United Kingdom until 1993, when it was issued an 18 certificate (the film was downgraded to a 15 certificate in 2004). A commercial success upon release, Django has garnered a large cult following outside of Italy and is widely regarded as one of the best films of the Spaghetti Western genre, with the direction, Nero's role, and Luis Bacalov's soundtrack most frequently being praised.

Although the name is referenced in over thirty "sequels" from the time of the film's release until the early 1970s in an effort to capitalize on the success of the original, most of these films were unofficial, featuring neither Corbucci nor Nero. Nero reprised his role as Django in 1987's Django Strikes Again, the only official sequel produced with Corbucci's involvement. Nero also made a cameo appearance in Quentin Tarantino's 2012 film Django Unchained, an homage to Corbucci's original. An English-language televised remake of Django is currently being developed as an Italian-French co-production, while John Sayles is working on a third official installment in the film series, with Nero reprising his role.

Django is an album by the Modern Jazz Quartet, first released on LP in 1956.

Django is a character who appears in a number of spaghetti western films. He has appeared in 31 films. Especially outside of the genre's home country Italy, mainly Germany, countless releases have been retitled in the wake of the 1966 Django's enormous success.

Django is a software program for engraving of tabulature for lutes, archlute, theorbo and other early plucked and bowed instruments. It was created by the French composer, lutenist, and programmer Alain Veylit. It is currently the only program that produces tabulature in Braille.
