Yeah v3 is backward compatible.

Yes thank you for verifying. Any feedback based on this trace?

[jpic]

My bad, I meant not backward compatible :)

[jpic]

Solution: pin 'django-autocomplete-light>=2.0,<3.0' in requirements.

@ezawadzki it's working for me:

I suspect you're having another issue.

[jpic]

I'm sorry but unless you're able to provide more technical information, ie. virtualenv creation and dal install logs, I'm not able to help any further, because my crystal ball is at the garage for repair.

[jpic]

v2 and v3 are not compatible. v2 uses autocomplete_light module name, and v3 uses dal, to prevent any incompatible code from compiling at all and defering errors for users upgrading.

My question to you is: what version do you want to use ?

Also, what are the install logs ?
