1.7 Andrew Godwin @andrewgodwin & you
Andrew Godwin Author of South migrations library Hi, I'm Author
of 1.7 Django migrations Generally far too involved in Django
Django 1.7 Migrations Scheduled release: May 15th (we'll probably miss
it) App loading refactor Checks framework select_related filters Custom lookups
Migrations They're pretty good.
The (second) Plan Django Schema backend ORM Hooks South 2
Migration handling User interface Backport for 1.4 - 1.6
Logically Separate Schema backend ORM Hooks Migration handling User interface
SchemaEditor Migrations
A New Format More concise Declarative Introspectable
Migration actions Frozen ORM
None
In-memory running Creates models from migration sets Autodetector diffs created
from on-disk Used to feed SchemaEditor / ORM
Backwards Compatability Auto-applies first migration if tables exist Ignores South-style
migrations South will start looking for south_migrations
App Loading Mostly internal change App objects per-app Start of
long path away from settings
Checks Framework Proper support for project-level validation Old validation moved
in Upgrade warnings now possible
from django.core.checks import register @register() def example_check(app_configs, **kwargs): errors =
[] # ... your check logic here return errors
prefetch_related control Now accepts a Prefetch object Can customise order,
select_related, or filter
Pizza.objects.prefetch_related( Prefetch( 'restaurants', queryset=Restaurant.objects.select_related('best_pizza'), ) )
Custom Lookups Allows for more powerful Field subclasses You can
stop using .extra() and .raw() as much
from django.db.models import Lookup class NotEqual(Lookup): lookup_name = 'ne' def
as_sql(self, qn, connection): lhs, lhs_params = self.process_lhs(qn, connection) rhs, rhs_params = self.process_rhs(qn, connection) params = lhs_params + rhs_params return '%s <> %s' % (lhs, rhs), params
Important Upgrade Notes
Fields need deconstruct() It's a required new method for all
fields.
syncdb is deprecated Use migrate (old apps will still work)
initial_data is dead Use data migrations and the ORM instead
Django 1.8? LTS Migrations for contrib apps PostgreSQL improvements?
Thanks. @andrewgodwin aeracode.org
