There was never a Django 0.97 release.  Anything that reports itself as
Django 0.97-pre is an SVN checkout from sometime between 0.96 and 1.0 (which
spans rather a lot of ground in terms of changes).

'core' was an oldforms-admin parameter.  It meant nothing (had no effect)
after newforms-admin was merged to trunk, and was removed entirely at some
point soon before 1.0.

If you've got code written for 0.96 then you'll need to do some migration to
get it running on 1.0:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.0-porting-guide/

Alternatively you can keep running on the older level, but you'll need to
install what matches that code you've written, and you don't seem to have
the matching level installed at present.
