Django 1.0 released!

Now this is interesting: a web “framework” written in Python, released today. Apparently you can use it to develop web sites more quickly and efficiently. I hear it even makes programming “fun.” It’s great to see new projects still coming out on this front.

Oh, what’s that you say? Django’s been available for three years and used in production on major news sites even longer than that? Weird. You would think it would be at 5.0, by now. :)

Seriously — congrats to everyone involved. I’ve been keeping up with the latest revisions, and I know this: the Django I fell in love with a coupe years ago is a total piece of shit compared to 1.0.

    Django 1.0 has been a long time coming. I was out of the Django loop for a while, but oh how I missed it. At least with a 1.0 on there I can convince my clients that it is not betaware. Maybe now I can finally get djangopodcast.com up and running.
