About this codebase
Django is a Python web application framework: it consumes HTTP requests (via ASGI/WSGI) plus URL configuration and settings, routes each request through a middleware → view → response pipeline, and produces structured HTTP responses while also providing a built-in ORM, migration system, admin, and testing utilities backed by external services such as databases and caches.
Written by gpt-5.4-nano from the index
3,010 files and 41,678 symbols in 6 modules, led by Python (2,924 files) and JavaScript (45).
Code health
This codebase scores 6.4 out of 10 for code health, which we rate fair. It also scores maintainability 7.4 and static performance 9.8 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 42 of 3,010 files are git hotspots, and they average 3.0 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

1 thing worth doing this quarter.
Worth planning
Delete 60 unused symbols and files (746 lines)
Nothing in the graph reaches them, across 40 files; every reader and agent pays to skip them.

Improve what Repowise can see
Add a test coverage report
Without one, Repowise cannot tell tested code from untested code, so every test-related action says “unknown”.
- line coverage
- Unknown, no report
Small effortReview the 31 proposed decisions
None is accepted yet, so nothing can drift from one and agents get no enforced guidance from them.

Use django/django in your agent
Point Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code at this repository. Your agent gets the index this page is built from: cited answers, callers, history and health for any file.
https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/django/djangoOne command, run anywhere. Adds the server to your local Claude Code config.
Docsclaude mcp add --transport http repowise https://api.repowise.dev/mcp/django/django \ --header "Authorization: Bearer rw_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
This repo is public, so anyone with a Repowise account and an API key can connect.
Try asking
- get_overview()
- get_answer("how is django put together?")
- get_why("why is django structured this way?")
Prefer local? pip install repowise && repowise init indexes your own checkout, no account needed.

Repowise badge
Links to this page, with no score on it. Adding it also re-indexes the repo every week.
[](https://repowise.dev/repo/django/django?src=badge_wiki)Code health badge
The repo's health score out of 10, from the latest index.
[](https://repowise.dev/repo/django/django?src=badge_health)Code health card
A larger card with the score, its change since the last index, and when it was measured. The HTML version follows the reader's light or dark theme.

The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. This page is a map of the django/django repository, written primarily in Python, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 3,010 files and 41,678 symbols in 6 modules, led by Python, JavaScript and Shell. Code health is 6.4 out of 10, rated fair.
