卸载旧版本Django以升级到最新版本

Question

I want to upgrade Django from 1.2.5 to 1.3. I uninstalled 1.2.5 version, by the Ubuntu Software Center, for future upgrading, but it still in dist-packages and it still imported in python shell. What should I do? Would it be normal if I would brutally deleted the folder and egg from dist-packages? It runs on Ubuntu 10.04

Answer 1

Go to the /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages . Find django folder there and delete it. then download django 1.3 and run python setup.py install . This should do the trick.

Answer 2

I recommend using setup-tools. Then run

easy_install --upgrade django

It will remove current django path from PYTHON_PATH and will add it's own path. To get easy_install do:

apt-get install python-setuptools

For both actions sudo is needed.

Answer 3

Remove django version using pip :

pip uninstall django

And install the version you want, for example 1.5:

pip install django==1.5
