Description

The current (3.0.3) version of Django requires psycopg2 <2.9.
https://stackoverflow.com/q/68024060/4107809

Python 3.11 does not work with these versions of psycopg2.

psycopg replaces psycopg2 starting in 4.2

is_ajax() call is deprecated in 3.1. See release notes

Postgres 9.6 support is dropped in Django 4.0

USE_L10N is discontinued on Django 5.0.

Maybe target LTS release 5.2. Django 6.0 requires python 3.12.

The default primary key behavior changes in 3.2, from 32 bits to 64 bits.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked Django release notes and inventory the project’s uses of is_ajax(), USE_L10N, primary keys, and PostgreSQL. Confirm the target Django release and Python/PostgreSQL compatibility before addressing each migration issue; done means the upgrade target is agreed and the application works with its supported dependency versions.
