+Currently the #6814 ticket is not resolved, so you need to apply the patch from #6857 to make robustapply work.
+Without the patch signals will blow up showing obscure import errors.
+
+Once Django 1.0 is out, it should run on PyPy out of the box.

+== Python 2.4 ==
 
-                Django only requires Python 2.3. But, be aware that many popular django applications depend on Python 2.5 runtime lib.
+PyPy supports the 2.4 runtime library, so you have to be aware of code using 2.5 features.

+Django only requires Python 2.3. So as such Django runs just fine on PyPy.
+But, be aware that many popular django applications depend on Python 2.5 runtime lib.
+
+Getting the Pinax Django Hotclub project running we needed a couple of extra dependencies,
+ * elementtree
+ * hashlib
+But these have now been included in PyPy during the EuroPython sprint (well done hpk & hruske).
+
+If you try to run Pinax on cPython 2.4 you would have this dependency problem.
+
+== Pinax Project ==
+
+If you want to get the Pinax project up and running you need to check out the trunk
+{{{
+svn checkout http://django-hotclub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ django-hotclub
+}}}
+This checks out pinax and all the associated applications from Google Code. If you want to check out with
+git follow the instructions on the project wiki at
+
+http://code.google.com/p/django-hotclub/wiki/UsingGit
