Is Cookiecutter 1.7.3 required for cookiecutter-django or is it not updated readme? #5188

Hi, I see the readme recommands installing cookiecutter 1.7.0, while current cookiecutter is already 2.6.0.

Is cookiecutter-django tested against 1.7 or is it simply readme not being updated?

I wonder as the latest cookiecutter-django pip package is also 1.11.9 from 2018, but I see this project being activly developed. I assume pip package is no longer in use as we directly point to the git repo with cookiecutter https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django, but wanted to make sure.

Regards

The cookiecutter-django package in PyPI exists only to secure the name and prevent anyone from using the name for malicious purposes.

Regarding the documentation in the readme, we simply ensure that the user has the minimum version of cookiecutter command-line tool installed, that is, if version 2.5.0 is currently installed, pip will not attempt to update to the latest version, however if 1.5.0 is currently installed, pip will perform an update. This behavior is achieved with the "package-name>=minimum-version-number" syntax of pip install

Thank you, wanted to make sure major from 1 to 2 is fine and tested. Sorry for bothering.
