Django

Quick start

tinkerise backend django my_django_service

When to use

Use django when you want a batteries-included Python web framework with admin and ORM.

Prerequisites

• Python >=3.10
• django-admin CLI (from django package)

First run after scaffold

cd my_django_service
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install django
python manage.py runserver

Unified flags

No unified flag mappings are defined for this scaffolder. Pass native args as needed.

Framework-specific behavior

• tinkerise delegates to django-admin startproject.
• Prerequisite checks cover both Python runtime and django-admin availability.
• Passthrough args are supported.
• Native Django template flags (for example --template) can be passed through directly.
• Keep your app inside a virtual environment to avoid Python package conflicts.

Generated output

You get a standard Django project with:

• manage.py command entrypoint
• Project package containing settings.py, urls.py, asgi.py, and wsgi.py
• Default app wiring ready for additional startapp modules
• Built-in admin and ORM configuration foundations
