Upgrade Django from 1.1 to 1.5.1. This highlights some of the issues that one may encounter when updating Django. It's not possible to cover every case, but this should provide a good general starting point.

Change to DATABASES variable in settings.py.

Django now supports multiple databases and changes are needed to how the database connections are defined.

Changed in Django 1.2
Change Required by Django 1.4

If you don't use it, you are dead to me.

Avoid long lines and do not use a backslash for line continuation. Figure it out. Look at some of these examples for help:

zone_sums = dict(
    one_free=Sum('ports__one_gig_available'),
 one_total=Sum('ports__one_gig_total'),

	# Leader key should be the same as screen (C-a)
	set -g prefix C-a

	# Double tap to go to previous window
	bind C-a last-window

	# Splitting windows should use \| and -
	unbind %
	bind \| split-window -h
	bind - split-window -v

	import rlcompleter
	import atexit
	import os
	import readline
	import sys
	from pydoc import help

	# Make TAB complete stuff
	readline.parse_and_bind("tab: complete")
