I appreciate your response. I still would like to move my development over to linux based OS, as you said many of the deployments are on linux web servers.
You helped me clarify what I would require in order to make any project successful. I would need the capability of porting any existing open source module to the OS /python/django/version that I would be implementing. For example the sql/odbc module pyodbc exists as shown on this link http://code.google.com/p/pyodbc/downloads/list Can someone provide some guidance as to how I would port the source code to a package that I could ultimately install with the simple command of setup.py install for any development environment that I would require. *************************** I realize that there is a procedure for packaging up the source code, but then I have to test it and make any modifications for the environment that I am porting it to. Which variables are the ones that I have to be most concerned about python version django version OS version In the end I have to decide whether it is worth it to move to "a less supported" OS, if I have to port multiple packages/modules Am I wrong in the assumption that there are less python packages available for non windows OS Thanks Bob On Jan 16, 9:39 am, j_syk <jesyk...@gmail.com> wrote: > This isn't really an answer to your question, but here's my 2 cents. > I'm in the reverse situation as you, Macs at work and Windows at home. > I wasn't too interested in figuring out Django development on either > after quickly disliking macports and never having the desire to > develop on windows without a specific IDE.
