About South — South v0.7 documentation: "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.
We try to make South both as easy-to-use and intuitive as possible, by making it automate most of your schema-changing tasks, while at the same time providing a powerful set of tools for large or complex projects; you can easily write your own migrations by hand, or even use the database altering API directly.
While South started as a relative unknown in the Django database-schema-altering world, it has slowly risen in popularity and is now widely regarded as the most popular schema migration tool for Django."
