In case you have no previous experience with Python, I would seriously recommend you follow Zed Shaw's Learn Python the Hard Way ( http://learnpythonthehardway.org/)
Don't let the title scare you off, it's actually a great book for programming beginners. It's free online, or if you're willing to pay there's a $30 version that comes with video lessons. It'll cover anything from setting python up, to working with the terminal, to picking and configuring your text editor. In case you're just looking for some direct tip, and use GNU/Linux, I'd suggest typing gedit mysite/settings.py Gedit is a good enough editor to start with, it has some helpful programming features out of the box that will not get in your way, like syntax highlighting. If you're using Windows, I'd recommend getting Notepad++. I haven't used it in a long time, but it used to be like gedit. I can't help with Mac stuff, though... - Gabriel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
