One problem with Django is that it does not expose its ORM as an external library: stackoverflow.com/questions/33170016/how-to-use-django-1-8-5-orm-without-creating-a-django-project which is wasteful of development time.
As of 2021, last updated 2016, and python 3.5 appears to be mandatory or else:
RuntimeError: __class__ not set defining 'AbstractBaseUser' as <class 'django.contrib.auth.base_user.AbstractBaseUser'>. Was __classcell__ propagated to type.__new__?
which apparently broke in 3.6: stackoverflow.com/questions/41343263/provide-classcell-example-for-python-3-6-metaclass and pyenv install fails on Ubuntu 20.10, so... fuck. Workarounds at:but am I in the mood considering that the ancient Django version would require an immediate port anyways? Repo is at Django 1.0, while newest is now already Django 3. The Rails one is broken for the same reason. Fuck 2.
