Site now running on django 1.0

hence the bump in minor version - 3.1

While researching on grails and the patterns around it, I looked at django, rails, and lift. All these are quite amazing frameworks that get you started on an application like in 5 mins or less (That includes database layer, view pages, and controllers). Yeah it cannot do everything you want but its there to get you to kick off.

And then I realized, how much effort I am putting in maintaining my site on hand coded - wsgi.webapp based - Python app. So I started working to move this to django based multi app site. If you dont know, I host this site on Google App Engine. It does come with a patched, short featured, django of its own. However, I preferred to use app-engine-patch and deploy with a supplied django 1.0. You get most benefits of django with this port. A very big tip of hat to Waldemar Kornewald and his team for this patch. (Guess what, They also have a similar concept of stitching mutiple js/css files - media generator)

I can see how rapidly I can develop applications and deploy using django. I simply moved jscss.py to django views.py. My first sub-app is a dynamically manageable urls. All the following urls are served by my new django app.
