Python Tools for Visual Studio should automatically detect CPython if you have that installed. If you haven't, I suggest you download an install a CPython distribution called ActivePython Community Edition (http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads). It will set up Python in your Windows environment properly, which the official one doesn't seem to do right (judging by the posts here about Windows). The bonus with VS is the great debugger, which works with CPython as well. Many of the IDEs mentioned are just great text editors, and don't include a debug environment (i.e. the ability to set breakpoints, explore stack, step through code visually etc.). Some do include such an environment, including PyCharm and PyDev. PostgreSQL also works fine on Windows. No idea about all the GIS stuff though. If you're comfortable with using Linux, then go for it, but most of the basic stuff you can do on Windows (until you need other bits of software to make things work, like Redis). Unless you have a preference for Windows though, I wouldn't use it as a Django app web server in production; there's far less support on the net to help you out when things go wrong. I use ActiveState Komodo Edit on Windows to modify files on my Linux VM which runs the web server for my Django apps. It means I don't get a debug environment though; working on finding something to make that work. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django users" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/django-users/-/2LQU1l81OyoJ. > > To post to this group, send email to django-users@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > django-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/django-users?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
