Windows boxes can be cranky and annoying, but I’d stick with it and just Make 
It Work. Once you have a complete installation (and document how you got 
there!) you won’t have to think hard about it again. Or use virtualbox (and 
Docker on top of it) to get started with your Linux installation now.

You *are* using virtualenv, right? That is very high on my list of things that 
make my life easier for setting up development systems and deploying to 
production. You may find that it helps with some of the issues you are seeing 
on your system.

Yeah, I wrote that code back in the day and I would use GeoDjango. Not that it 
doesn’t do what it says it does, but GeoDjango gives you everything you will 
need all at once.
