Well, that's almost true :-) Granted - it's a lot easier so far but I had to track down several things (and a whole lot of "here's how" tips) that were taken for granted (like pip which require easy_install.... so on and so forth).
In retrospect, I recommend future newbee to take this route: start with Oracle's VirtualBox and build a Ubuntu virtual machine, Enable the desktop, mySQL, and SSLServer. Get easy_install which comes with pip. Install Django via pip, add Python-mySQL and Mako - then off you go. It's a whole lot easier this way.
