I feel like this is the wrong way to go. I feel that keeping logic out of the models just to ...

I'm currently using Django 1.0 on my Mac OS X 10.5.7 box. It's installed to: /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django/ However, there are features that are part of the development release (1.1) of django that I'd love to use for internal tools at my company.
