Andrew, Part 4 looks great!
Thanks for the shoutout as a reviewer of Part 4. Like with Part 3, it would be better to link it to my one-man company's corporate site than to just my links page. Use: http://bristle.com I'm re-posting my privately emailed comments on the latest version here so people can find them as part of this thread.
Lots of good advice on how to upgrade, including: - Tools/resources to use - Value of having a test suite - Use of DEV/TEST/PROD and virtualenv - Importance of going to 1.5, then 1.6, then 1.7, as separate steps - Upgrading packages you depend on - Upgrading Python itself - Release notes for each version -- Backwards-incompatible changes -- Deprecated features -- New features - Use new Check Framework to enforce coding standards - etc. See also: - http://andrewsforge.com/article/upgrading-django-to-17/checklist
