 Python Level -2 (Django Framework)

 DJango is for creating web applications. That is, software, normally backed by a database, that includes some kind of interactivity, that operates through a browser. A Framework provides a structure and common methods for making this kind of software. It is not for making websites.

Django’s primary goal is to ease the creation of complex, database-driven websites. Django emphasizes reusability and “plug ability” 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.
