Django Offline Docs

What?

Django is a very popular web framework for Python. One of the main strengths of Django is its excellent and extensive documentation (around 1020 pages in Django 1.3). But Django does not provide pre-built HTML/PDF docs. Instead it asks you to build from source.

The purpose of this page is to provide you a convenient way to download and use the Django documentation offline.

This page provides Django docs in various formats (PDF and HTML in zip, tar.gz, 7z) for several versions of Django. Whenever a new version of Django is released, I will update this page.

Why?

• Django docs are written in ReStructuredText (RST) and you need Sphinx tool to generate HTML version.
• To generate PDF version in Ubuntu, you need to download 700-900 MB of Latex packages.
• People in developing countries like India don't have continuous access to internet. We prefer to download material and read offline.
• Even if you are not in a developing country, keeping a local copy of docs is useful. Just in case the Django site is down or when you need to refer to something while traveling.
