https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/ in the “Manually
managing a user’s password” section, a reference is made to the
django.contrib.auth.utils module, but this module does not exist. It was
created in response to #14390 in SVN r16456 (or git a51a059899) in June
2011) but then six months later in SVN r17254 (or git 0516dc6741) it was
moved to the django.contrib.auth.hashers module.
The documentation shows that this was added for “the development release”,
which I assume means the Django 1.4 development cycle, so it should not
affect older versions of Django or its documentation.
I _may_ be able to provide a simple patch in a git tree later, depending
on how my schedule for today goes, but I wanted to get this reported so
that it was known before the Django 1.4 series enters the next iteration
of its release process.
I am marking this as a release blocker based on the rationale that:
* this is not a regression and is a defect in documentation for the new
release; and
* it is a relatively easy defect to fix; and
* the outdated documentation can easily cost someone an hour of time
tracking down a “problem” that does not exist.
