djangoql-iplweb 0.22.1

DjangoQL: Advanced search language for Django (iplweb fork with i18n)

DjangoQL

Advanced search language for Django, with auto-completion. Supports logical operators, parenthesis, table joins, and works with any Django model. Tested on Python 3.10–3.14, Django 5.2 and 6.0. The auto-completion feature has been tested in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE9+.

This is a community fork. djangoql-iplweb is a fork of the original DjangoQL by ivelum — install the upstream package from djangoql on PyPI. This fork adds internationalization (i18n) of error messages and modernized packaging/tooling.

These changes are offered back to the upstream project. If the original maintainers merge them, please switch back to the upstream djangoql package — this fork exists only to make the improvements available in the meantime, and will defer to upstream once they land there.

It is published on PyPI as djangoql-iplweb, but the import name stays djangoql (so INSTALLED_APPS and import djangoql are unchanged).

• Live auto-completion of model field names and values in the admin
