Django has nothing built in for this.  There are, instead, multiple
different external projects that aim to provide this function. See:

http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/a4f1040210d5887f/18d949dc6987ed3a

which is the discussion thread associated with the announcement of the last
one of these I recall hearing about, and I think it has pointers to where
you can find out more about the other ones.  Long-term it would be nice if
Django incorporated something along these lines in the base, and I believe
many of the people involved in these projects want that to happen, but there
is work to be done to agree on what features, etc. from each should be
supported, and that hasn't been settled yet.  In the meantime there are
solutions available, you just have to do a bit of research to figure out
which of them best meets your needs.
