Re: how to convert to Django 3 or 4

I have been through the experience of moving existing Django 1.5 app to 3.2 a couple years ago. Without doubt, the path of least resistance is to rebuild the site from scratch. Start with the latest release (ie. 4.2 as of today).

You'll have the apps already defined and these have a blueprint. Your templates are done and may not need to be touched at all. Settings will be different so build that in as your progress through the implementation. You may need to "port" any customisations - for example middleware and templatetags, but structurally the application should be much the same.

HTH,

Hi everyone,

I am tasked with updating/upgrading a very old Django web site - I believe it is 1.7.  I need convert and need what is required.
Thanks in advance.


I need to convert the following:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    url(r'reg4/$', 'register.views.reg4', name='reg4'),
    url(r'reg3/$', 'register.views.reg3', name='reg3'),
    url(r'reg2/$', 'register.views.reg2', name='reg2'),
    #url(r'reg1/$', 'register.views.reg1', name='reg1'),
    url(r'reg1/$', 'register.views.reg1', name='reg1'),
    #url(r'^$', 'register.views.home', name='home'),
    url(r'reg/$', 'register.views.home', name='home'),
    url(r'get_courts/(\d+)$', 'register.views.get_courts', name='get_courts'),
    url(r'get_courses/(\d+)$', 'register.views.get_courses', name='get_courses'),
    url(r'autoschedule/', 'register.views.autoschedule', name='autoschedule'),
    url(r'get_cities/(\d+)$', 'register.views.get_cities', name='get_cities'),
    url(r'get_classes/(\d+)$', 'register.views.get_classes', name='get_classes'),
    url(r'get_cities2/(\d+)/(\d+)/$', 'register.views.get_cities2', name='get_cities2'),
    url(r'get_classes2/(\d+)/(\d+)/$', 'register.views.get_classes2', name='get_classes2'),
    url(r'rejected/$', 'register.views.rejected', name='rejected'),
    url(r'finished/$', 'register.views.finished', name='finished'),
    
    ##url(r'^$', 'profiles.views.home', name='home'),
    #url(r'^contact/$', 'register.views.home', name='contact'),
    #url(r'^about/$', 'register.views.about', name='about'),
    #url(r'^profile/$', 'register.views.user_profile', name='profile'),
    #url(r'^checkout/$', 'checkout.views.checkout', name='checkout'),    
    # url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
) + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root = settings.STATIC_ROOT)

What is required?
