You could give it a go but if you're just wanting to get through the tutorial is does seem like overkill. I've just tried installing Postgres on Mac OS X for the first time and it wasn't smooth sailing by any means. Part of the issues were related to installing the Postgres server on an older OS version and hardware. I did install psycopg2 on recent hardware with current Lion and a fair amount of hair pulling. psycopg2 is a connector so that Django, through Python, will be able to talk to a Postgres server. It does the same job that MySQLdb does for MySQL. Toodle-loooooooooooooo............. creecode -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
