In the beginning there was Zope. Zope was a web application framework ... but

it had some discontents who dared to call it "monolithic" and "unpythonic".

And behold, then there came Webware, and it was Modular.... But others

rebelled ... and a Ton of frameworks appeared: Quixote ... SkunkWEB ...

CherryPy ... and some thirteen others.

I can't think of any other backwards-incompatible

changes that we're planning before 1.0 (knock on wood). If this isn't the last one, though, it's at least the last major one.

Before:fromdjango.models.pollsimportPoll

After:frommyapp.modelsimportPoll

Before:...magic!...

After:importdatetime

Before:classPoll(meta.Model):classMETA:admin=meta.Admin(list_display=('title'),)

After:classPoll(meta.Model):classAdminlist_display=('title')

Before:fromdjango.models.pollsimportpollspolls.get_list(slug__exact='slug')

After:frompolls.modelsimportPollPoll.objects.filter(slug='slug')
