项目简介：

类似于ROR中的migrations，用来自动记录和维护开发过程中的数据库结构的变化。

 

South brings migrations to Django applications. Its main objectives are to provide a simple, stable and database-independent migration layer to prevent all the hassle schema changes over time bring to your Django applications.

 

特点：

Intelligent; it knows if you've missed out a migration or two

Database independent, so there's no hassle if you need to move databases.

Easy; it can write migrations for you, and it takes about a minute to convert your app over to use South.

Designed for a pluggable Django world; you can declare dependencies between apps so they all migrate together correctly, and you can still use syncdb for your non-migrated apps without it interfering.

Useful for data too; you can write migrations to transform legacy data.

Better (we think, anyway) than the alternatives.
