Malcolm Tredinnick 19290ed051 Fixed database backend creation for Python 2.3.
Previously on "things we changed in the recent past".... the database
connection setup was changed. People were happy. Except for those
running on Python 2.3.

We had completely broken Django on Python 2.3. Turns out, this is due to
a long-standing bug in the _threading_local module that interacts with
object creation in 2.3.

Interestingly, although the bug remains in Python 2.4 and 2.5, they
don't trip over it for reasons I don't entirely understand at the
moment.

Django is a high-level Python Web framework that encourages rapid development
and clean, pragmatic design.

All documentation is in the "docs" directory and online at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/. If you're just getting started, here's
how we recommend you read the docs:

    * First, read docs/intro/install.txt for instructions on installing Django.

    * Next, work through the tutorials in order (docs/intro/tutorial01.txt,
      docs/intro/tutorial02.txt, etc.).

    * If you want to set up an actual deployment server, read
      docs/howto/deployment/modpython.txt for instructions on running Django
      under mod_python.

    * You'll probably want to read through the topical guides (in docs/topics)
      next; from there you can jump to the HOWTOs (in docs/howto) for specific
      problems, and check out the reference (docs/ref) for gory details.

Docs are updated rigorously. If you find any problems in the docs, or think they
should be clarified in any way, please take 30 seconds to fill out a ticket
here:
