If you're just starting out - still at the stage of running the tutorial,
then you won't lose much by starting again - but you also won't lose much
by finishing the tutorial on the version you started with. 1.7 introduced a
couple of small changes to the tutorial, so if you ran the tutorial a
second time (this time with 1.7), you'd probably spot a couple of minor
changes in the commands you need to issue; but the code itself will be
almost exactly the same.

1.7 is a fairly big release, but if you're at the tutorial stage, you
should be able to just update Django without too much difficulty.

Broadly speaking, yes - Django has a very strong backwards compatibility
policy, so code written for one version will generally work with the next
version. If something is introduced that isn't backwards compatible, we
introduce it softly over a couple of releases, and your code will spit out
lots of warnings telling you what needs to be updated.

Yours,
Russ Magee %-)

Is anyone else trying out 1.7? I do a jython manage.py runserver 8080 and then 
it seems to want to render but isn't.

Newbie question about Django and Python versions.

2014-09-08 Thread Andrey Consalter
Hi there,

I've been studying programming with Python 2.7 and Django 1.6, and a few 
days ago Django 1.7 was release and with it, the new tutorial that I had 
just started.
What you guys would recommend? Keep working with my current environment or 
update it?
How this updates work? How "deep" are they?
Would a project/app wrote with previous versions still work with the new 
ones?

Thanks in advance!
