2019-12-19Refs #28954 -- Remove remaining Jython documentation.Nick Pope
There is still no further progress on Jython 3 since support for Jython was stripped in Django 2.0. The developers experimenting with Jython 3 have stated that they would need to start from scratch, so it doesn't look as though it will materialize for years to come. Python 2 and Django 1.11, the last version to support Python 2.7, will both be end-of-life before Django 3.1 is released. We should no longer instruct users to use an unsupported version of Django.
2019-09-06Fixed #30573 -- Rephrased documentation to avoid words that minimise the ↵Tobias Kunze
involved difficulty. This patch does not remove all occurrences of the words in question. Rather, I went through all of the occurrences of the words listed below, and judged if they a) suggested the reader had some kind of knowledge/experience, and b) if they added anything of value (including tone of voice, etc). I left most of the words alone. I looked at the following words: - simply/simple - easy/easier/easiest - obvious - just - merely - straightforward - ridiculous Thanks to Carlton Gibson for guidance on how to approach this issue, and to Tim Bell for providing the idea. But the enormous lion's share of thanks go to Adam Johnson for his patient and helpful review.

2016-01-25Fixed #25968 -- Changed project/app templates to use a "py-tpl" suffix.Chris Lamb
Debian packages unconditionally byte-compile .py files on installation and do not silence errors by design. Therefore, we need a way of shipping these invalid .py files without a .py extension but ensuring that when we template them, they end up as .py. We don't special-case .py files so that the all the TemplateCommand command-line options (eg. extra_files and extensions) still work entirely as expected and it may even be useful for other formats too.
