Re: Script to move django 1.4.3 to 1.5.1

The worst change i've had to make was a long time ago when we had to send CSRF Token with Ajax calls because of a security exploit.

Had to write an entire regular expression and apply it to multiple template files. Took perhaps 40 minutes.

However i can see some of the really old django snippets out there that just work could possibly come unstuck and you'd have to fix them. Understanding python goes a long way to fixing this.

through it for each app I support.  Doesn't take too long, and I feel I
gain a better understanding of the new features this way.

Yeah this is by far the best way of doing things. Plus it has the advantage of becoming familiar with everything that has been added.

The only time I found upgrading a chore was when I had to change all my url templates tags to have quotes around the URL name. That took ages. Thankfully that sort of change is rare and I really should have used the future import to get around it completely.
