We now have a bunch of broken deps in EPEL5:

Django-south.noarch : Intelligent schema migrations for Django apps
django-addons.noarch : A framework to create pluggable Django add-ons
django-ajax-selects.noarch : Enables editing of ForeignKey, ManyToMany and 
simple text fields
django-authopenid.noarch : Django application to integrate Django 
authentication system with
                          : OpenID
django-authority.noarch : A Django app for generic per-object permissions and 
custom
                         : permission checks
django-dpaste.noarch : Dpaste is a code paste-bin application using Django
django-filter.noarch : A Django application for allowing users to filter 
queryset dynamically
django-flash.noarch : A Django extension to provide support for Rails-like flash
django-mptt.noarch : Utilities for implementing Modified Preorder Tree Traversal
django-profile.noarch : Django pluggable user profile zone
django-reversion.noarch : Version control extension for the Django web framework
django-simple-captcha.noarch : Django application to add captcha images to any

If we get python26 into good shape in  EPEL5, maybe we can get Django14 into 
there.
