@pkdash looks like mezzanine supports up to 4.0??

[devincowan]

would also require an upgrade to at least python 3.8

UPDATE:
scratch that,
I think we are on 3.9 which is good to mid-2025

In my experience, Mezzanine does just fine with the latest version of Django. A vanilla install from master and python manage.py runserver results in installed version of Django 5.0.1:
