Hello,
it's with great pleasure that I announce the release of
*django-compat-patcher v0.11*
This release extends compatibility fixers so that you can painlessly
upgrade your project to *Django 4.0*, without breaking your existing
pluggable-apps ecosystem.
--
DCP is a companion package which adds backwards/forwards compatibility
patches to Django, so that your dependencies don't get broken by trivial
changes made to the core of the framework.
It injects compatibility shims like function/attribute aliases, restores
data structures which were replaced by stdlib ones, extends the
behaviour of callables (eg. referring to a view by object, by name, or
by dotted path), and can even preserve deprecated modules as “import
aliases”.
This allows to you upgrade your dependencies one at a time, to
fork/patch them when you have a proper opportunity, and most importantly
to not get stuck, when deadlines are tight.
Technically, DCP manages a set of “fixers”, small utilities which
advertise the change that they make, the versions of Django that they
support, and which monkey-patch the Django framework on demand.
Beware, DCP is aimed at project maintainers. If you are developing a
reusable Django application, you can’t expect all your users to
integrate DCP as well. In this case, to support a wide range of Django
versions, you should rather use a toolkit like Django-compat
<https://github.com/arteria/django-compat>. You may think of DCP as a
“runtime 2to3 for Django’, wherease Django-Compat is rather a “six
module for Django”.
Feel free to contribute new fixers, for backwards or forwards
compatibility, depending on the compatibility troubles you encounter on
your projects
