Error in Brand New Django 1.4.1 released Yesterday

[JJ Zolper]

Hello all,

I didn't realize a new release was put out until something weird happened.

I'm installing DJ on my production server now and when I was downloading a copy from https://www.djangoproject.com/download/

and installed it and went into python:

>>> import django
>>> print django.get_version()

I didn't see 1.4.1 I saw 1.5

Sure it's probably a minor configuration fix to change it to 1.4.1 but I was really worried that I did something wrong.

Maybe someone else can repeat this and see if I made a mistake or that indeed something is wrong with the brand new release?

Cheers to all!

JJ

Here is django/__init__.py in the 1.4 release branch:

https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.4.x/django/__init__.py

VERSION is (1, 4, 1, 'final', 0).

I downloaded a copy of the 1.4.1 tarball, unpacked it, and looked at
the __init__.py; again, VERSION was (1, 4, 1, 'final', 0).

What about if you download it from the link I put.

I mean I'm sure it's fine just pointing out that where I got it from it said 1.5

When I said "I downloaded a copy of the 1.4.1 tarball", that's exactly
what I meant.

django.get_version() prints '1.4.1'. I do not know what the problem is
with your local install, but I can verify that it is not an issue with
the package on djangoproject.com.

Okay I'm sure it's fine but I was able to get a hold of 1.4 from python.org and I used that when installing Django

to my server on bluehost.com for the time being I'm going to go with that.

Each time I tried to run the command on there after having downloaded the 1.4.1 file from https://www.djangoproject.com/download/

that's what I saw, 1.5.

[JJ Zolper]

Nope. Not Python 1.4. Django 1.4.

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Django/1.4#downloads

I ran the following commands in the python interpreter and saw the following:

>>> import django
>>> print django.get_version()
1.4

I'm good to go. Not sure if the 1.4.1 file off of djangoproject.com is in the right shape so I went with what I knew, 1.4.

Cheers,

JJ

Yesterday I did ...

pip install --upgrade django

... and it happily upgraded mine to 1.4.1

Just now I also did

pip install --upgrade django

>>> import django
>>> django.get_version()
'1.4.1'

On that same page (option number 2) are a couple of links for the
"Latest Development Version". The zip file is named:

django-django-1.4-616-g8d3e501.zip

but indeed the version in the zip file is:

VERSION = (1, 5, 0, 'alpha', 0)

That's because you've downloaded "Option 2: Latest development
version". 1.4 is our stable release. 1.5 is the version we are
currently developing

This means that the VERSION string is correct -- the latest
development version is a 1.5 pre-alpha. However, the file name is
misleading. The file name is auto generated by Github; I'll see what
can be done about correcting it.

Thanks for all the replies and help!

I attached an image of the link I downloaded multiples to try to get Django 1.4.1 and when I kept installing it on my BlueHost server it kept telling me it was version 1.5. I hope that makes my point clear.

I know a lot of you thought I was downloading the development version. Well being a rookie its possible but I swear to you all I was downloading the link where I have the box and that's what was happening.

Thanks a lot,

JJ
