Let's Encrypt App for Django

django-letsencrypt will allow you to add, remove, and update any ACME challenge objects you may need through your Django admin interface. Simply add the ACME challenge and response for your app to serve up the necessary information for Let's Encrypt validation.

This project strives to make installation, configuration, and usage a snap! From high levels of code coverage, multiple compatible python versions, multiple versions of Django supported, even multiple databases too!

And of course all wrapped up and published to PyPI for standard installation!
