For the Windows users out there, or for those with friends who use Windows, this is for you.
Some of you may recall Instant Django, there should be a post from the original author on this group about it. Basically Instant Django is a self contained Python+Django installation within a single directory. It can run on any Windows platform without any further software installations. It can even run alongside your existing Python installation, without interfering with it. It is an entirely self-contained Python+Django installation to easily engage with future Django developers, or those who merely want to check out Django just to see if it's right for them. Changes from the original Instant Django include: Django 1.4 Setuptools-0.6u11 pip-1.1 The inclusion of setuptools and pip allow new users to Python to easy install new packages and explore PyPi to see what there is offer in the world of Python. Unlike normal Python installations, the included batch file will setup a perfect "PATH" variable, to make the command shell in Windows feel exactly like a *NIX. Python and django-admin are in the PATH. :) This will allow users to easy use the package with no knowledge of setting up their Windows environment, and this also makes most, if not all online Python tutorials just work. Normally a Windows user will need to either alter their path settings, or type in the entire path, for django-admin.py this can be a tad annoying. This can also deter users from exploring Python or Django, as it can be a lot of work to configure your Windows environment. Everything from the original Instant Django are all left in tact. I added a readme file and a packages file which explains some basic operations to get new users up and running quickly. The batch file is the same as in Instant Django. Notepad++ is also included, just as the original Instant Django. Check it out, and let me know what you think: http://www.pythondiary.com/blog/Apr.10,2012/instant-django-release-information.html Best of all, the actual ZIP file is hosted on a CDN(Content Delivery Network), which means all users regardless of their region will be-able to download the file at very fast speeds(does depend on your local connection, don't expect fast on your 56k).
