Thanks, this the answer I was looking for, I think virtualenv is the way to go.

Re: Django 1.7 and Python 2.6

2014-09-27 Thread Russell Keith-Magee 
Out of the box, it won't work - but if maintaining an internal fork that
adds Python 2.6 compatibility back in shouldn't be *too* difficult.

When we drop support for a Python version, we don't go out of our way to
break compatibility with that version. It's more like a gradual process
where language features incompatible with older versions of Python slowly
drift into the codebase.

The two sources of problems you'll hit are:

 1) Using language features available in 2.7 that weren't in 2.6. Set
literals, dictionary/set comprehensions, and multiple context managers are
the new features that are most likely to cause problems.

 2) Relying on compatibility shims that are no longer required in 2.7, and
so were removed. The native OrderedDictionary type will be the complication
here. We previously shipped a shim for older Python versions; that shim was
removed in Django 1.7.

If you're absolutely stuck on 2.6, and you can't use a virutalenv or docker
container to isolate your Python requirements (as suggested by others in
this thread), then a back port might be an option.

The ultimate test - Can you run Django's own test suite? Once the test
suite runs, you shouldn't have any problems.

Yours

Hello there,

docker might do the job.

Hi,
If you can download in your server then you can install python 2.7+ into
your virtenv.

Django 1.7 and Python 2.6

2014-09-27 Thread François Schiettecatte 
Hi

I know that Django 1.7 does not officially run on Python 2.6:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/releases/1.7/#python-compatibility

Unfortunately I am stuck with Python 2.6 on a number of servers but would like 
to migrate to Django 1.7. Does anyone run that configuration? Is there anything 
in Django 1.7 which explicitly prevents it from running on Python 2.6? Or is 
this a "great if it runs, but don't care if it doesn't" situation.

Cheers

François
