Does Django 1.10 still need South to manage migrations?

Question

I am following online instructions on starting a Django project the right way.

The instructions are based on an earlier version of Django. From my (admittedly limited) knowledge of Django. The latest release of Django (1.10 at the time of posing this question), already handles migrations seemingly well - by way of the manage.py script.

My question then is this: Do I still need to install South to manage my migrations, or can I simply skip that part of the instructions, and use manage.py to deal with my db schema changes?

No, South was for Django before 1.7. With 1.10 everything you would have used it for is baked into Django itself.
