Django 1.5 Upgrade on CentOS

Question

On my Mac, running python 2.7, I upgraded from 1.4 to 1.5 by doing this:

rm -rf /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django

Followed by python setup.py install in the dir I untar-ed Django-1.5.1 to.This all worked fine.

On a Centos system running python 2.6 I did: rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django followed by the
setup.py install. My django app is working, and appears to be running 1.5, however anytime I use manage.py (for collectstatic or syncdb or test, for example) I get these messages:

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py:465:
DeprecationWarning: The 'execute_manager' function is deprecated, you likely need to update your 'manage.py'; please see the Django 1.4 release notes (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/).

/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py:409:
DeprecationWarning: The 'setup_environ' function is deprecated, you likely need to update your 'manage.py'; please see the Django 1.4 release notes (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.4/).

So it seems I still have some 1.4 stuff around. I don't get this on my Mac. How can I get rid of these messages?

Answer 1

Django is not a CentOS package. It is very likely that you installed it from a third-party repository or by hand. In the future you should try to post to a more appropriate location (like the django mailing list

On a Centos system running python 2.6 I did:
rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django followed by the setup.py install.

This was probably the wrong thing to do. Use yum to upgrade if you installed from a repo, or use the official Django upgrade docs if you installed by hand:
