django-rosetta depends on Django 1.3, but this isn't in the dependencies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using Django 1.1 for a project. I installed django-rosetta 0.6.0 via pip. 
My django unittest don't work, with error "Exception: cannot import name 
receiver". I have tracked it down to the rosetta tests which import "reciever" 
from django 
(http://code.google.com/p/django-rosetta/source/browse/trunk/rosetta/tests/__ini
t__.py#5). However that name is not in that module in Django 1.1 
(http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.1/django/dispatch/
__init__.py) nor Django 1.2 
(http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.2/django/dispatch/
__init__.py)

If these tests only work with Django 1.3 (which does have this name 
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.3/django/dispatch/_
_init__.py ), then the pip requirements should be corrected to show that 
django-rosetta depends on django 1.3.

Thanks for the heads-up. Is Rosetta working as expected on Django 1.1, apart 
the failing tests?

Yes, aside from the failing tests, rosetta works on django 1.1 for our initial 
limited experience.

We're going to try to patch it so that the tests work on django 1.1.

Thank you. You can use this idiom, which is also used on other tests:

  if self.django_version_major >=1 and self.django_version_minor >=3:

Here's a patch to make rosetta tests work on django 1.1. Rather than use a 
self.django_version* I tried to import it and if it fails, it'll redefine the 
function.

Here's a patch to update the setup.py file to list the Django 1.1 dependency. 
If the above make-work-on-django-1.1.py isn't used, then this should be changed 
to list ">=1.3"
