[[!meta title="Django autoinstalls now see updates to your code instantly!"]]
The [Django](http://www.djangoproject.com/)
[autoinstaller](http://scripts.mit.edu/start/) has, up until now,
told you that when you update your code files, you need to
`touch index.fcgi` in order for the changes to be reflected on the
web. Unfortunately, that feature has never worked on
[scripts.mit.edu](http://scripts.mit.edu/). We’ve finally
identified the reason for this issue, and implemented an
improvement to the autoinstaller — it is no longer necessary to
kill your `python` processes or `touch` your `index.fcgi` files.
Updates to your `.py` files are now reflected immediately on the
web without you having to do anything else.

We have applied this enhancement to all existing Django
autoinstalls that accept
[our automatic updates](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/44).
