hi there, i'm seriously considering moving my hosted site to webfaction. i'm developing this site using python 3.2+ and django 1.5+. my question: is there anyone using python3 and recent django on webfaction who would like to comment on how good the webfaction support is for this combo? i found a list of webfaction 'applications' somewhere on the webfaction site that listed a lot of python/django version combinations, but it did not list any 1.5+ version of django in combination with 3.2+ (or any 3.x) version of python... does this mean it's an unsupported combo or just that the install will be more 'manual'. anyway, tia for any replies, e. asked 30 Jul '13, 05:41 elguavas |

If it is not on the list, that you found, then it just means we do not have an installer for the combination you are wanting to use. This doesn't mean you can not install Django on Python 3.2. In fact, if you create a mod_wsgi3.4/python3.2 application, you can then install Django into that application directory. Hope that helps. Feel free to post any further questions here or open a support ticket for further help. answered 30 Jul '13, 11:29 bmeyer71 ♦♦ thanks for the reply bmeyer. once i have my django 1.5 installed with python 3.3 i assume there is a smooth path for me to keep on upgrading both python and django 'in place' for that application?

Upgrading Django for minor releases is generally easy - we have the basic procedure here: Upgrading your Django Libraries Upgrading for major releases is usually a bit more involved - the procedure to upgrade the libraries themselves is generally as what we have documented above. However, major Django releases usually require some changes to your code as well. In those cases, you'll want to consult the release notes for the version of Django to which you are upgrading. Regarding Python upgrades, that's a bit less smooth. For example, if you wanted to go from Python 3.2 to Python 3.3, you'd need to re-build mod_wsgi (or whatever back-end deployment stack you're using) against that version of Python.

ok, thanks seanf. so it's not really different from if i'm maintaining my own installations of django and python as i am at present. i just wanted to know whether there were any added complications (or benefits) due to webfaction's notion of an installed 'application'.

What are the steps to install Django in this manner? We can't run the 'sudo python3.2 setup.py install' from the downloaded/untar'ed source directory, can we? Thanks for any help.

@bmeyer71, Bear with me, not super familiar with your environment without using the Control Panel for installation. Let me know if I messed up, please: I ran the command without sudo, thus: I tried
