Out of the Box

The core Django framework includes a lightweight webserver for development, a caching framework, a XML/JSON serialization system for Django model instances, an internationalization system,, support for middleware classes all on top of a model-view-controller system. While apart from the core, Djano also bundles many applications in a "contrib" package. In this package you can find: an authentication system, an administrative system, a feed generator, a tool for making Google sitemaps, cross-site request forgery prevention, templating libraries and a framework for creating GIS applications. There are also lots of additional packages to provide even more functionality to Django.
