howto lock django version to 1.7 on ubuntu?

[Charles Cossé]

Hi, I'm trying to use django-schedular with Mezzanine but default Mezzanine installed Django-1.8.4 and pretty sure now that I need Django-1.7 for django-schedular.  Not being overly guru-istic with Ubuntu, how do you force Ubuntu to use Django-1.7, and prevent Mezzanine from upgrading to 1.8?  Thanks,
Charles

Best way is to use a virtualenv and pin your Django version in
requirements.txt.

It's highly recommend you develop all python projects in separate
virtual environments. This is a great guide, and also explains how to
pin (freeze) requirements:
http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/

If you still want to go with the system Python, you can force the
version of Django like this:

sudo pip install -U "django<1.8"

Thank you, will try the latter after lunch.  Maybe the former, too, at this point.

I am running 2x virtual hosts via apache/wsgi/django ... if i hide them away in venvs how do i get them back online?  TIA, Charles

You only need to tell Apache to use the virtualenv's Python instead of
the system's Python.

"/usr/bin/python" becomes "/path/to/your-virtualenv/bin/python".

Thanks, I did do some further reading but glad to hear it simply as you put it.
