Take note of your development / production server Python versions.
Django 1.2 is tested on Python 2.3 and higher while Django 1.3 drops Python 2.3 support, meaning you will have to use 2.4 above.
Granted, most servers these days have a minimum version of at least Python 2.4 so it shouldn’t be a problem – it’s good to take note.
You may wish to refer to Django 1.2 and 1.3’s release notes. They document the list of changes between each versions and list out compatibility issues between each release (for example, you may wish to upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 in the future and want to see the changes).
If you have no restrictions, I strongly recommend Django 1.3. It has Generic Class Views and a couple of new nifty stuff.
