Small clarification: the “new” way (urlpatterns just a list of urls) actually works just fine in 1.7, 1.6, and earlier versions of Django too (as long as you use the `url(…)` function to define each url, and import your views rather than referencing them as strings). So you can switch to it right now, regardless of what Django version you are using. The 1.7 docs still use the `patterns(…)` function (which is deprecated starting in 1.8) simply in order to maintain compatibility with the output of 1.7’s startproject command.
