django-admin-index
Change the Django admin index page without too much hassle or visual changes.
Admin Index for Django
| Version: | 2.0.2 |
|---|---|
| Download: | https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-admin-index |
| Source: | https://github.com/maykinmedia/django-admin-index |
| Keywords: | django, admin, dashboard |
About
This extension enables you to group, order and customize the Django admin index page without too much hassle or visual changes.
There are 2 concepts: Application groups and Application links. You can
create an application group and add any model to it in the Django admin, under
Admin index. Whether the models are shown to the user, depends on the
regular Django permissions and whether it's registered in the admin.
An application link is simply a URL with a name that you can add to an application group. It shows as a regular Django model.
One final change in the Django admin is the removal of the App lists, that link to a list of models within an App. This concept became obsolete.
Installation
You can install django_admin_index either via the Python Package Index…

django-postgresql-netfields
Proper INET and CIDR fields for Django running on PostgreSQL
Django PostgreSQL Netfields
This project is an attempt at making proper PostgreSQL net related fields for
Django. In Django pre 1.4 the built in IPAddressField does not support IPv6
and uses an inefficient HOST() cast in all lookups. As of 1.4 you can use
GenericIPAddressField for IPv6, but the casting problem remains.
In addition to the basic IPAddressField replacement, InetAddressField
a CidrAddressField a MACAddressField, and a MACAddress8Field have
been added. This library also provides a manager that allows for advanced IP
based lookups directly in the ORM.
In Python, the values of the IP address fields are represented as types from the ipaddress module. In Python 2.x, a backport is used. The MAC address fields are represented as EUI types from the netaddr module.
Dependencies
This module requires Django >= 1.11, psycopg2, and netaddr.
Installation
$ pip install django-netfields
