How do you maintain user data when updating a Django site?


I have a live Django site that already has registered users. I am trying to update the site with a new version that is different from the original site -similar idea but different models.

How can I keep the current users on the new site?

I have heard South may be a good solution, but the old site doesn't have it installed. Is it possible to use South in this case?

Thanks for the help!
