All good things come to an end. Version 4.2 is the new Django LTS-version (Long Term Support) for a popular Python web framework. This is how you can upgrade your project handily with django-upgrade.
Install it with pip straight away, or add it to your requirements.txt. Use a virtual environment to be safe and sane.
sudo apt-get install virtualenv
Start up the env.
source env/bin/activate
Install django-upgrade.
pip install django-upgrade
I prefer the requirements.txt-route:
requirements.txt django===4.2.1 django-upgrade pip install -r requirements.txt
Use the command:
django-upgrade --target-version 4.2.1 example/core/models.py example/settings.py
In my case, I needed to upgrade my urls.
django-upgrade --target-version 4.2.1 pathto/urls.py
Worked like a charm and fixed paths and static files on one go!
To verify the results, I checked that my setup worked and my dev-server was running great locally and then yolo-pushed the changes to my production server, since it's just this site and it has nothing that a database restore + git can't change back to way it was.
django-admin --version
Actually I had some worries regarding MarkdownX, so I had to mod it's paths a bit to comply with Django 4.2 syntax. Here's the updated urls.py of that plugin for anyone experiencing similar woes:
""" **MarkdownX** default URLs, to be added to URLs in the main project. See URLs in :doc:`../../example` to learn more. """ from django.urls import path from .views import ( ImageUploadView, MarkdownifyView, ) urlpatterns = [ path('upload/', ImageUploadView.as_view(), name='markdownx_upload'), path('markdownify/', MarkdownifyView.as_view(), name='markdownx_markdownify'), ]
