[Pythonmac-SIG] newbie Mac switcher trying to set up django on Intel MacBook Pro Tiger

[Jack Jansen]

I've been thinking a bit more about being forced to upgrade package X  
when I'm not interested, and I realised that the times it really  
bothers me are even one more step removed: if I was interested in  
package X and the website/whatever told me "don't use the current  
version of X, use the newer one" I can probably live with that.

The real problem is when I couldn't care less about package X but I'm  
really interested in Y, which uses X, and then X forcing me to upgrade  
it.

Python is in a pretty good shape right now, with well-packaged  
extension modules being compatible with a fairly wide range of Python  
installations, but please let's try and keep it that way.
