There was a small hiccup with the 1.9 release candidate yesterday. Unless
there is some other conflating factor that I missed, generating release
packages using Python 2 will yield a name like "Django-1.9c1.tar.gz" while
Python 3 yields "Django-1.9rc1.tar.gz" ('rc' instead of 'c'). Yesterday's
release must have been the first release candidate to be generated using
Python 3, and this broke the download page because
django.utils.version.get_version() (which the website uses) returns "c1"
for the file name instead of "rc1". I put in a (perhaps temporary) fix to
correct this: https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/pull/547
Do you think it's correct to make the change in Django itself?
https://github.com/django/django/pull/5676 -- I didn't track down the
reason why this changed in Python.
While get_version() isn't a public API, it's widely used according to
GitHub search.
