Oddly named package for producing a diagram of your Django project's object model

Django SQL Dashboard provides an authenticated interface for executing read-only SQL queries directly against your PostgreSQL database, allowing exploration and visualization of your data with minimal friction. Queries can be bookmarked and turned in to publish dashboards.

Python 3.9 adds IANA time zone support. Its tzinfo implementations behave slightly differently from the pytz package used in Django when it comes to calculations crossing daylight-savings-time boundaries, so there is going to be a gradual process of replacement and deprecation in future versions.
