[Django] [Third party app] What is the Cheese Shop?

And that brings us to the other word, pluggable, or Django apps that can be moved from project to project usually by installing them from the Cheese Shop.

What is the Cheese Shop? :))) Is it just an expression? Or is a Django apps repository?

And where is the best place to browse and look for apps?

"Cheese Shop" is a reference to (what else, it is python) Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch: Cheese Shop, and "CheeseShop is a secret code name for Python Package Index also known as PyPI and accessible from https://pypi.python.org"
