Django 1.0 has been released. I haven’t had a chance to play around with it yet, but it is a vast improvement on 0.97. You can read the release notes here.
GeoDjango is a geographic framework for Django that is now included as part of the Django distribution. It looks fairly good and I’ll be using it on some upcoming projects. There are some presentations here if you want to get an idea of how it works.
Google Maps has its own SRID: 900913. 1337-speak for Google. If you want to use it with PostGIS, you’ll have to add the definition to the spatial_ref_sys table.
Thanks for the article. I am new at development and this was a big help.
