I can't see that mod_wsgi is even mentioned at all. Given all the problems that exist with mod_python am just surprised it is still pushed as the best option at this point.

Considering what an important learning resource the Django Book is, you'd think it would get some linkage from djangoproject.com -- the string "book" doesn't appear on the homepage or any of the six top- level pages, or even in the Django FAQ index! ./s --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Having skimmed most of it I can say it looks really good and I'm sure it basically all works, that said it isn't a final addition so there may be tiny errors, typos, or other mistakes. I wouldn't have a problem reading through that(I originally learned from the original book before it was published). If you haven't already I would take a look at the official django docs/tutorial, they really are quite good :).

Django book mostly done?
I happened to visit the Django Book site 2.0 It still says that it's not complete, but it seems to cover everything the 1.0 did except for deployment and the Appendices. Could a person get a pretty good grounding in django now by reading 2.0? I guess what I mean is that for the past few months it's been suggested to go through the tutorial and the documentation rather than the django book. But, is the 2.0 book a good starting place now? Can't really say I'm a noob at this point, I've been through about 4 different books on django. But, I still feel as though I don't have as thorough an overview as I'd like to have. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
