Re: Google Organic Search Results for Documentation

I think this is somewhat ameliorated by being able to link to the current trunk documents these days. Many incoming links will be going there. Additionally, for old documents, there is the "these docs are old" message at the top. It might be beneficial to make that easier to see for a user who

Django 1.3 and Python 2.4

2010-08-10 Thread Paul McMillan
Django 1.2 dropped support for Python 2.3. In the past, there has been talk of dropping a version of Python per Django release. Python 2.4 is relatively rare these days, but still supported by RHEL. None of us like coding for it, and I know that several of the core devs have voiced support in IRC

I agree with the person who closed the ticket again, since this should have been discussed on the mailing list prior to re-opening it. That said, I'm strongly +1 on this issue. I've had to write workarounds for exactly the described behavior on other systems, and it hasn't been good. Django

test refactor update

2010-07-06 Thread Paul McMillan
This past week I've been working on integrating unittest2. There were several difficulties including precisely how to bundle it (yes, we're doing that, I know, many of us don't like the choice), and I ended up needing to bundle a patched version because of the format used by the imports in the

I've been ill, hence the late update and lack of progress. Last week I only committed 2 test updates, but spent significant time tracking down a fix for #13821 since it was preventing existing tests from running on Postgres 8.3. -Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

including unittest2 in 1.3

There has been some discussion of unittest2 before on the list, and there's a ticket about including it. http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/12991 We get a bunch of useful features with unittest2, and everyone I've spoken with on #django-dev agrees that it would be a useful thing to get into
