Django Inspector

Purpose-built for developers and engineers, Django Inspector provides a static, source-based assessment of a Django project. It inventories apps, models, and migrations, and performs a settings audit to surface misconfigurations and security gaps. The tool does not execute code or access live databases, ensuring safe, repeatable analysis in CI or local workflows.
Conceptually, it parses key Django files, resolves app structure, and applies simple rules to identify drift, deprecated patterns, and improvement opportunities. Output is a structured report suitable for governance reviews and upgrade planning, with concrete, actionable recommendations.
What makes it unique is the combination of architectural discovery with configuration and security posture checks, plus compatibility notes across Django versions and a CI-friendly JSON export. This enables teams to quickly triage risk before migrations or deployments, and to document change rationale for audits.
Typical use cases include onboarding a new Django codebase, validating readiness for a major version upgrade, or performing a pre-release security and compliance check. Core features include project_inventory, settings_audit, migrations_analysis, security_flags, and upgrade_guidance, all designed to be deterministic and repeatable across repositories.
