Installing Pinax 0.7 on Ubuntu

[Christos Jonathan Hayward]

I've been working to make a 0.7 Pinax social project work with current
versions of Django and Pinax, and it's been a time sink: we're talking zero
to sixty for one week and counting for a timesaver for the web framework
for perfectionists with deadlines. I realized today that I was maybe
halfway through an ersatz port of the project and my virtualenv to current
versions of Python and Django.

In other words, my approach has been a losing approach.

Is there any way that I can forcibly install Pinax 0.7, with a
corresponding Python version, on my Ubuntu machine? Part of the difficulty
is that I don't know how to get Pinax 0.7; it's not available from its
original URL, and there are dozens of websites offering a free download for
Pinax 0.7, but when you drill down they link to the official site. Meaning
I haven't found an independent Pinax 0.7 source tarball.

*Does anyone happen to have a Pinax 0.7.x source tarball available?*

And can anyone tell me what version of Django would work best with that
Pinax?

And if Python 2.7.3 is going to cause problems, what version of Python
should I have Django running on?

I've certainly identified a losing way to get a Pinax social project up. A
couple of them, actually, if you count pulling the pinax-soclal-project
stub from the official site and then try to do anything more social then
edit a minimal account profile.

I made a tarball snapshot before trying to "make it work together." Now I
was wondering if people could help me with what I hope is a winning
approach, installing 0.7 and dependencies.

Thanks,
