installation flow in setup.rst

[emdete]

i followed the docs/setup.rst (after a virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 env; source ./env/bin/activate; pip install django; django-admin.py startproject demo) line by line. when doing the demo/manage.py migrate (and setting PROJECT_ROOT as requested) (and fixing the error django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: COMPRESS_ROOT defaults to STATIC_ROOT, please define either) i get a:

 WARNINGS:
 ?: (1_8.W001) The standalone TEMPLATE_* settings were deprecated in Django 1.8 and the TEMPLATES dictionary takes precedence. You must put the values of the following settings into your default TEMPLATES dict: TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.

when requesting i get an error:

 AttributeError: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute 'user'

is the setup document uptodate and meant to work out of the box?

[emdete]

ok, that one (no attribute user) is fixed, one has to change MIDDLEWARE to MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES... i do not know why that is not generated correctly.

the warning persistst and i get another warning:

RemovedInWagtail17Warning: Using a tuple for search_fields on Page subclasses is deprecated, use a list instead
  index.FilterField('page_ptr_id')

[emdete]

and i've overseen this one:

Warning: django.conf.urls.patterns() is deprecated and will be removed in Django 1.10. Update your urlpatterns to be a list of django.conf.urls.url() instances instead.
  urlpatterns += patterns('', (r'^favicon\.ico$', RedirectView.as_view(url=settings.STATIC_URL + 'myapp/images/favicon.ico')))

could be corrected in the doc as well.

Are you using Django 1.10, right?

[emdete]

i installed via pip, looking into lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/__init__.py shows VERSION = (1, 9, 10, 'final', 0). so no, it's 1.9, right?

what is the desired django version for puput? isn't it 1.9 and if so why is 1.9 installed?

[emdete]

i was asked to issue a demo/manage.py makemigrations, shouldn't that be in the flow as well (with some explanation)?

finally the link "Continue reading »" points to a wrong location (i have a setup where django is in a sub-path "/PATH_PREFIX/blog/..." only so i have url(r'^{}'.format(settings.PATH_PREFIX), include('puput.urls')),) the PATH_PREFIX part is dublicated. haven't figured out what's wrong in my setup (or if its a bug).

@emdete could you open a new issue for each issue that you have? Is easy for me to track which issues are resolved or not.

thanks
