The final version of Django 1.0 has been released. Debian packages are available from the unstable repository and these should install cleanly on Ubuntu too.
As I noted previously with the Alpha releases, an RPM for RHEL5/Centos can be built by doing:
python setup.py bdist_rpm
Note you’ll need an updated MySQL-python library installed, which can be found below.
MySQL-python-1.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm
If you’re not using a 64bit server, you can download this source RPM and rebuild via rpmbuild –rebuild:
We’ve been using Django a lot for some internal projects, and for various reasons we’re using CentOS 5 on the servers running them.
One nice feature of the Python build system I didn’t know about until today is the ability to make RPMs using the setup.py script. To build yourself some Django RPMs, just run:
python setup.py bdist_rpm
Unfortunately, this feature seems a bit hit and miss. Django needs a newer version of MySQL-python than ships with EL5, but unfortunately the bdist_rpm for this doesn’t work.
As such, here’s a link to an updated MySQL-python RPM I’ve built:
MySQL-python-1.2.2-1.x86_64.rpm
If you’re not using a 64bit server, you can download this source RPM and rebuild via rpmbuild –rebuild:
