django-reversion VS django-easy-audit

django-reversion ([OPTION] For object history and reversion feature, please select right version by your django, see changelog )

I did the initial installation steps and created the initial revisions, but then when I save a model in django shell, the new revision is not created:

I tried django-reversion, django-simple-history, django-audit-log, django-historicalrecords, but I fail to understand how and why I should use each of these packages as some of them seem like an overkill for the requirements. So, after two days of searching and reading through numerous posts about how I should be tracking model changes, I have basically done nothing.

Reversion - looks simple enough to use but not sure how easy it would be to modify it if needed.

Have you checked out django-reversion?

Searching djangopackages.org I was confoosed by django-field-history, "A Django app to track changes to a model field.", and similar apps django-reversion and django-simple-history, I think these are tracking changes to the model itself--the code--inside of admin? Like if you created a Poll which saved results to the database, and later wanted to change one of the Poll questions?

I think what you are looking for is django-easy-audit, it's a package that logs into the database all the requests for the specified endpoints, but also changes that happen to specified models and authorization events. You can access logs from the Django admin or create a fronted yourself.
