Install Django (read the :doc:`installation guide </intro/install>`). + #. Walk through the :doc:`tutorial </intro/tutorial01>`. + #. Check out the rest of the :doc:`documentation </index>`, and `ask questions`_ if you + run into trouble. + +.. _`Download the code`: http://www.djangoproject.com/download/ +.. _ask questions: http://www.djangoproject.com/community/ + +What are Django's prerequisites? +-------------------------------- + +Django requires Python_, specifically any version of Python from 2.4 +through 2.7. No other Python libraries are required for basic Django +usage. + +For a development environment -- if you just want to experiment with Django -- +you don't need to have a separate Web server installed; Django comes with its +own lightweight development server. For a production environment, Django +follows the WSGI_ spec, which means it can run on a variety of server +platforms. See :doc:`Deploying Django </howto/deployment/index>` for some +popular alternatives. Also, the `server arrangements wiki page`_ contains +details for several deployment strategies. + +If you want to use Django with a database, which is probably the case, you'll +also need a database engine. PostgreSQL_ is recommended, because we're +PostgreSQL fans, and MySQL_, `SQLite 3`_, and Oracle_ are also supported. + +.. _Python: http://www.python.org/ +.. _WSGI: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0333/ +.. _server arrangements wiki page: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ServerArrangements +.. _PostgreSQL: http://www.postgresql.org/ +.. _MySQL: http://www.mysql.com/ +.. _`SQLite 3`: http://www.sqlite.org/ +.. _Oracle: http://www.oracle.com/ + +Do I lose anything by using Python 2.4 versus newer Python versions, such as Python 2.5 or 2.6? +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Not in the core framework. Currently, Django itself officially supports any +version of Python from 2.4 through 2.7, inclusive. However, newer versions of +Python are often faster, have more features, and are better supported. +Third-party applications for use with Django are, of course, free to set their +own version requirements. + +Over the next year or two Django will begin dropping support for older Python +versions as part of a migration which will end with Django running on Python 3 +(see below for details). + +All else being equal, we recommend that you use the latest 2.x release +(currently Python 2.7). This will let you take advantage of the numerous +improvements and optimizations to the Python language since version 2.4, and +will help ease the process of dropping support for older Python versions on +the road to Python 3. + +Can I use Django with Python 2.3? +--------------------------------- + +Django 1.1 (and earlier) supported Python 2.3. Django 1.2 and newer does not. +We highly recommend you upgrade Python if at all possible, but Django 1.1 will +continue to work on Python 2.3. + +Can I use Django with Python 3? +------------------------------- + +Not at the moment. Python 3.0 introduced a number of +backwards-incompatible changes to the Python language, and although +these changes are generally a good thing for Python's future, it will +be a while before most Python software catches up and is able to run +on Python 3.0. For larger Python-based software like Django, the +transition is expected to take at least a year or two (since it +involves dropping support for older Python releases and so must be +done gradually). + +In the meantime, Python 2.x releases will be supported and provided +with bug fixes and security updates by the Python development team, so +continuing to use a Python 2.x release during the transition should +not present any risk. + +Will Django run under shared hosting (like TextDrive or Dreamhost)? +------------------------------------------------------------------- + +See our `Django-friendly Web hosts`_ page. + +.. _`Django-friendly Web hosts`: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts + +Should I use the stable version or development version? +------------------------------------------------------- + +Generally, if you're using code in production, you should be using a +stable release. The Django project publishes a full stable release +every nine months or so, with bugfix updates in between. These stable +releases contain the API that is covered by our backwards +compatibility guarantees; if you write code against stable releases, +you shouldn't have any problems upgrading when the next official +version is released. |
