13.3 Django’s contrib Code

The contributed library is colloquially called contrib because that is the name of the directory that houses it, as you can see in Example 13.4.

Example 13.4: Shell Code

$ ls django/contrib/ _--init_--.py   gis        sitemaps admin        humanize   sites admindocs    messages   staticfiles auth         postgres   syndication contenttypes redirects  webdesign flatpages    sessions

The truth about contrib is very simple: every one of these directories is a Django app. Take, for instance, the flatpages/ directory, shown in Example 13.5.
