Update version to be able to import MediaCling #17

Closed maria closed 10 years ago

maria commented 10 years ago

When running pip install dj-static it will install the version 0.5, and we aren't able to import the class MediaCling. For those who want to serve media files, images, on Heroku is useful.

@marianitadn You are not alone with waiting for a pypi-update (#13, #4, #16). But in your case, on Heroku (or any PaaS) MediaCling is useless since your local filesystem isn't shared between the instances of your application.

Best bet is to go with something like (django-storages)[http://django-storages.readthedocs.org/en/latest/] for media-files.

For static-files, dj-static is fine since Heroku runs collectstatic when the slug is created.

Sorry, I didn't saw the one which is still open, just the other two. Maybe the fourth issue is the lucky trigger.

I have one instance for my app and I use MediaCling, and it works fine. :)

You can rely on heroku redeploying your instances (and so, deleting your media) at some point in the future :)
