django-jsonfield vs jsonfield about pinax-eventlog

[paltman]

@brosner what do you think about this?

@brosner bump. i wonder if we could make the 2 or 3 different json field packages optional so people could use whatever they are already using. jsonfield and django-jsonfield share the same namespace, I think. Then there is django-json-field which has the same field name just a different package name.

The only solution I found to this problem btw is:

1. install my all dependencies (setup.py or requirements.txt)
2. uninstall both
3. install the package I want again:

pip uninstall -y jsonfield django-jsonfield
pip install jsonfield

This "solution" is bad for countless reasons but I don't know a better way. Do you?

"jsonfield" is now django 1.7 compatible (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonfield Version 1.0.0) --> Why does eventlog use django-jsonfield and not jsonfield?

Any further discussion on this?

@paltman Since Django 1.9 now has a built in jsonfield, that should be used going forward. Probably we should close this issue and begin updating any apps to use the 1.9 built-in with a ported fallback for < 1.9?

Related to jsonfield. How to use query filter by jsonfield?
I need to query log data that extra field contains "title":"ADDED". Is it possible?

Thanks

eventlog is now using jsonfield
