[Python-Dev] Invitation to try out open source code review tool

[Guido van Rossum]

I forgot -- you need to link or copy the 'django' directory from
Django 0.97.pre into the app directory. Otherwise you'll be using the
Django 0.96.1 that's included with the AppEngine runtime, and the code
is not compatible with that version.
