yeah - there is usually not a lot of testing done on newer/older versions of python/django than what is in Debian Wheezy (or rather Debian stable at a given time) because that is our deployment target for production. Needless to say that we will also take patches for making it work with newer versions as well to save us some time on the next upgrade ;)
Absolutely. It's probably not a huge set of updates to work, but they do need to be done :) Of course, the next debian stable will have Django 1.6, so we're likely just going to bypass 1.5.
And of course, any such patches need to be backwards compatible.
Perhaps a patch like the one attached should be applied?
