Hello,

Thought I'd make use of this group.

How do people deal with versions of both Django and Pluggables? Now
that I have multiple (two!) Django sites to host this can be an issue.

How do you run multiple versions of Django?

Should I move Pluggables like Diario out of site-settings to be an App
inside of the site Package?

Thanks!

I don't think I've ever used Pluggables (a brief Google results in an
app on GitHub with broken docs, is that the one?), but in general I
keep all Django instances isolated through judicious use of virtualenv
or (more commonly) buildout. I personally never install anything in
the system site-packages (except setuptools and virtualenv). This
setup lets me run multiple sites with multiple Django versions without
a problem

Cheers,
Dan

That's something else, I think it's just what the cool kids call 'Apps'.

That sounds familiar ... I think I archived a post, I guess from you,
on [_] about the setup. I'll have a search for it.

For now I'll move the Apps out of any global reach and keep them with
each site and I'll make a decision on upgrading Django vs a
Virtualenv-like solution soon.

Thanks
