I'm a Django newbie (1 week) but a long time (since early 2000) Python programmer.
I have an internal project for work and I'm proposing that we use Django. Here are some general questions that I would like the community's opinion on. 1. I have to use Windows 2003 server due to the fact that I have to interface with an existing application through ODBC. I'm not tied to IIS/MSSQL but would probably try to follow the recommendations at http://thinkhole.org/wp/django-on-windows/ and utilize Apache/ mod_python/PostgreSQL. This division of the company just upgraded their infrastructure before I got involved and by default we are a windows shop. The server I would use is the domain controller and also runs Exchange. Any red flags here? The number of users is really small. (<30) 2. Should I stick with 0.96 or would 'trunk' be OK. I would really like to use the newforms-admin stuff once it has merged but since I'm new I'd like some advice. I've read http://www.djangoproject.com/weblog/2007/apr/06/changes/ and since I'm writing brand new code I don't have any backwards compatible issues to contend with and of course I would be careful when 'updating' my Django working copy. The site would need to go 'live' around Aug 1. Any gut feel on how much 'churn' there will be in the API during now until then. From everything I've read, Django has tried really hard to minimize API incompatibilities and personally I'm not that worried about it but would like some feedback. This is a very high profile project internally and I'm excited about using Django/Python. If this initial project goes well, there will be alot more candidate projects for Django at my company. Getting justification for the first one is the hardest but once it's an 'existing' technology it's an easier sell for new projects. Thanks in advance. ...
