How I Created My First Python Package: Django Query Fetch

Creating my first Python package was a rewarding experience that deepened my understanding of packaging, distribution, and solving real problems. I started with a simple but powerful idea to simplify database queries in Django applications.

Django Query Fetch is designed to make database queries easier and more flexible for Django developers. It provides a convenient way to fetch and filter data using various parameters without writing complex query logic every time.

With this package, you can filter data with dynamic arguments, exclude specific records, select only the columns you need, perform search filtering, map model field names to custom column names, apply multiple advanced filters using a simple syntax, and sort results with ascending or descending options.

I developed this package to address repetitive and complex querying needs in my projects. After building and testing it locally, I packaged it with the necessary metadata and published it on PyPI so other developers can easily install it using:

pip install django-query-fetch

This project taught me valuable lessons about writing reusable code, preparing a package for distribution, and the importance of sharing tools with the developer community. If you work with Django and want to simplify your database queries, give Django Query Fetch a try!
