I'm just starting to get into Django, and of course as of last night one of the two new Python versions went final (2.6 obviously ;)) so I'm wondering if 2.6 plus Django is ready for actual use or do the Django team need more time to finish with tweaks/cleanup?
All the google searches I did were inconclusive, I saw bits about some initial test runs on beta 2 but nothing more recent seemed to show up.

They've confirmed here 1.0 w/2.6 works fine as far as they know.

What Python version should I use with Django? ¶ Since newer versions of Python are often faster, have more features, and are better supported, the latest version of Python 3 is recommended.
Django uses the Python 2/3 Compatible Source strategy. Of course, you're free to chose another strategy for your own code, especially if you don't need to stay compatible with Python 2.
Python compatibilityDjango 3.0 supports Python 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, and 3.9 (as of 3.0. 11). We highly recommend and only officially support the latest release of each series.
Django 2.2 is designated as a long-term support release. It will receive security updates for at least three years after its release. Support for the previous LTS, Django 1.11, will end in April 2020.
The impression I get is that 2.6 should work fine with Django 1.0. As found here: http://simonwillison.net/2008/Oct/2/whatus/

Note that there is currently no python-mysql adapter for python2.6. If you need MySQL, stick with 2.5 for now.
