[refactoring] update stack to support latest Django. #92

Open mnowotka opened 9 years ago

mnowotka commented 9 years ago

Currently our python software stack depends on Django 1.5.5. The latest Django version is 1.7. This is not a critical issue yet as 1.5 is LTS but in order to use latest features from Django, make it more attractive for new developers willing to use our open sourced stuff we should think about updating.

This requires a lot of testing and porting may not be trivial as Django 1.6 introduces some changes in database handling and Django 1.7 even goes further but this is definitely doable and and possibly can help to solve many db-related issues.
