django-brackets

Official Documentation

django-brackets is a small collection of mixins for your class-based views' needs. Heavily based on django-braces, brackets aims to be a simpler API and lighter tool set than braces was.

django-brackets is developed against and for still-supported versions of Django and the latest (or near enough) version of Python. It also offers mixins for django-rest-framework which should work with the latest release of that package.

As always, contributions are welcome.
