migration to 3.x is still experimental, it will be some time before
it's mandatory.

also, a significant part of Django deprecation policy is which
versions are available in widely used platforms. Not so long ago, 2.4
was still supported just because some still-supported RHEL version
uses it by default.

finally, i'm sure Google will make 3.x available before 2.7 is
hopelessly obsolete. Remember that they employ some big-name Python
developers just for that (even someone with GvR initials....)

personally, i find much easier to manage my own server than to be
constantly distracted by the by-design limitations of the different
PaaS offerings. But if you find one that you really like, and don't
mind the lock-in, go for it!

thank you javier,

i am a .net and php developer, i can setup .net and php servers on windows, ubuntu.

i am new to django/python. i love python so giving it a try.

can you give any idea of setting up my own django server, i found hard time in setting up one. not able to choose between apache and nginx mod_wsgi, mod_python.

i never found a decent documentation on how to setup and run django on apache or nginx.

Well for development purposes, I just recommend using Django's built-in "runserver" command. It will launch a relatively full-featured HTTP Server for testing on your own computer. The command is "python manage.py runserver" and you should be able to access it using localhost:8000

Otherwise, I think the web server of your choice depends upon your needs. I, personally, prefer Nginx and uWSGI but something else may be better for your particular use case.

Good luck!

same here. it's a little different from other solutions, but rock
solid, and includes its own process management, so it's really close
to 'setup and forget about it'.

of course, if/when your traffic outgrows your initial setup you have
to tune up and/or add more resources, but it has a lot of grow space.
you won't find it constraining until you become bigger than twitter.

Jumping in the thread. 
is GAE supporting django? i knew that something is supported but not completely (like db is non rel in GAE). 

is there a tutorial on how to set it up? what did you follow?
my 2 cents on the server, right now i'm using AWS free tier, it's for 12months  and it's good. after that i'll switch to something else, which i didn't found yet. so suggestions are welcome (need to manage a 3 pages website with few queries and 2 celery scheduled tasks)
