django-reversion VS django-auditlog

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?
