django-contrib-comments 2.1.0

The code formerly known as django.contrib.comments.

Django used to include a comments framework; since Django 1.6 it’s been separated to a separate project. This is that project.

This framework can be used to attach comments to any model, so you can use it for comments on blog entries, photos, book chapters, or anything else.

For details, consult the documentation.
