[Fixed]-Understanding what differentiates jenkins and django-jenkins

21👍

Jenkins is the actual continuous integration tool itself: it handles manual and automatic builds, deployments and can run test scripts and display reports. This is useful to see whether your tests are still passing and whether the builds are successful.

django-jenkins is a Python package for the Django web framework which provides additional tools that you can use in Jenkins. For example, it generates reports which can be read by Jenkins. You can add these commands into your build script to generate the reports.

In other words, Jenkins can be used for many different continuous integration purposes but if you happen to be building a website in Python/Django then django-jenkins provides additional functionality to make life easier.
