Useful Django apps?

I would like to hear recommendations on useful Django modules (packages).
www.djangopackages.com is certainly a handy thing, but it is far from complete and you can't understand the latest trends from it.
While conducting interviews with Django developers, I discovered that there are several interesting modules that I did not know about until now. I hope that the habra community will share what modules it uses by looking at its pipreq/requirements, but someone will surely find new useful modules for themselves.
Here's what we use:
- Pillow (instead of PIL)
- south (database schema migration)
- gunicorn (webserver)
- werkzeug (for debugging)
- django-nose (for testing)
- raven (client for Sentry)
- django-celery (asynchronous tasks)
- djangorestframework (API)
- django-userena (profiles)
- django-tagging-ng (tags)
- django-jsonfield (JSON field for models)
- django-verbatim (no longer needed in Django 1.5)
- django-snippetscream (CSV serializer )
- sorl-thumbnail (alternative: easy_thumbnails)
- django-socketio (websockets)
Recently learned about these modules:
- django-pipeline (packaging and versioning CSS / JS)
- django-robots (managing robots.txt)
- django-grapelli ( beautiful admin panel)
- django-nginx-image (image resizing using nginx)
What modules do you use?

django-debug-toolbar
django-crispy-forms (create complex forms with Twitter Bootstrap support right from forms.py)
django-compressor (compiles LESS, SASS, compresses CSS, JS)
django-easyfilters (allows you to create filters like those that in admin panel, see demo )

In recent projects, the most commonly used (besides some already mentioned):
django-braces - CBV mixins
django-user-accounts - Registration / Accounts
django-constance - Project settings are stored in Redis and changed in the admin panel.
django-rq is similar to celery but more lightweight and uses Redis.
django-waffle - allows you to quickly turn on / off some functionality of the site (there is an analogue of gargoyle )
newrelic + django-newrelic-extensions
uwsgi - I deploy only through it, plus uwsgi can do a lot of other things - it will take a whole article to describe its functionality.
django-model-utils
django-bootstrap-toolkit
…
