...well, the local folks are friendly enough. Last I washed upon these sands, capsized on the first leg of my maiden voyage, I was advised that my vessel, django 0.95.1-1, running on Linux Debian Etch, was a relic beyond salvage.
So back in port, I smash a magnum of champagne across the bow of my sleek new django 0.96-1.1, running on Linux Debian Lenny, and cheer as she slides down the weighs. I fire up Python (2.4.4), import django, and enter django.VERSION... oops? What's this 0.96.09999....994? Supposed to be 0.96.1-1. Well let's try django-admin.py startproject mysite... Whooo ABANDON SHIP! SyntaxError: invalid syntax. So here I am again... stranded on the sand. Ok, ok... I know you Windows salts have no sympathy for we who choose Linux. More's the pity. And we who choose Debian are a still smaller minority. But, damnit, hold the flame war, in my experience, Debian has the best package management system on the globe. It let's us choose stable, testing, and unstable versions of our applications. In my case, I value stability in my web applications. But 'pears to me that django doesn't offer that, at least for my crowd. Indeed, during my previous visit to these climes, one bystander urged me to download the SVN version of django for the latest and the greatest. But this advice scares the socks off me. How can I promise my clients stability when I'm gamboling on the cutting edge? Moreover, it makes me nervous as heck to consider compromising my file system with apt-alien files, when apt and aptitude have served me so well over these five years. Indeed, I've never run into the kinds of problems of starting up a new application that I've seen with django. So where do I turn? Pylons? TurboGears? Ruby on Rails? Wait until django stabilizes sufficiently for conservative folks like me? Advisories welcomed.
