Yes, my thoughts as well at that point. Last time I checked, Ubuntu was offering Django 0.96 - installing through the package manager is bad advice when it comes to installing Django.
Installing from tar.gz isn't at all complex or difficult, either. The article would have been much more helpful if the author knew more about Python and Django.
- mrud 15y agoJFTR Django 0.96 was included in Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) which was released 2008. Source: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-django http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-django
- code_duck 15y agoTypically, LTS releases are used on a server, and 8.04 was the LTS release until last year's 10.04. When I went to install Django last year on a server that was still 8.04, the current version was 0.96. Definitely easier to just install from a tar.gz straight from the developers.
