Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid
development and clean, pragmatic design.
This is the Django 0.91 "bugfixes" branch, which is intended to provide
bugfix and patch support for users of Django version 0.91, which was
the last version before a series of major API changes. No new features
will be added in this branch, and it is maintained solely as a means
of providing support to legacy Django installations. If you're just
starting out with Django, we highly recommend that you use the latest
stable release or a Subversion checkout from Django's trunk.
All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0_91/. If you're just getting started,
here's how we recommend you read the docs:
About this version
==================
* First, read docs/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.
This is the Django 0.90 "bugfixes" branch, which is intended to
provide bugfix and patch support for users of Django 0.90 who have not
been able to migrate to a more recent version. No new features will be
added in this branch, and it is maintained solely as a means of
providing support to legacy Django installations.
* Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/tutorial01.txt,
docs/tutorial02.txt, etc.).
If you're completely new to Django we highly recommend that you use
either the latest stable release or a Subversion checkout from
Django's trunk; Django is always evolving, and the latest and greatest
features are only available to users of newer versions of the
framework.
* If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read docs/modpython.txt
for instructions on running Django under mod_python.
* The rest of the documentation is of the reference-manual variety.
Read it -- and the FAQ -- as you run into problems.
More information
================
Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket

We also recommend that users of this branch subscribe to the
"django-announce" mailing list, a low-traffic, announcements-only list
which will send messages whenever an important (i.e.,
security-related) bug is fixed. You can subscribe to the list via
Google Groups at http://groups.google.com/group/django-announce.

The documentation for this version of Django has been frozen, and is
available online at http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0_90/.
* Join the #django channel on irc.freenode.net. Lots of helpful people
hang out there. Read the archives at http://loglibrary.com/179 .
* Join the django-users mailing list, or read the archives, at
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/django-users.

If you run into a bug in Django 0.90, please search the Django ticket

If you're running into a bug which has been reported but not fixed,
