I've been wanting to play with Django, but usually don't have free time on the same machine throughout the day. So Django combined with Movable Python seemed like a good idea. Since I'm new to both Django and Movable Python (and fairly new to Python itself), getting it working was not intuitive, so I thought I'd post the process I used for anyone else in a similar position. (For you experienced folks, getting it working would probably have been a matter of minutes, but not all of us are there yet.)
Steps: 1) Install a version of Movable Python (I tested with the trial version at http://voidspace.tradebit.com/files.php/7007 ). This just goes onto your USB stick where you like. 2) Get a suitable distribution of Django (I'm having subversion issues, so I downloaded the latest zip) and put it someplace temporary 3) From the Django distribution, copy the django subdirectory and all it contains into the lib directory in Movable Python's directory structure 4) Edit syspaths.pth in Movable Python's lib directory to add in the lines: django django\bin I haven't played with it enough to know if both of those are necessary, but it seems likely. 5) You can delete your original temporary copy of the Django distribution I was then able to run, using Movable Python, django-admin.py to create a test site and then run that site's manage.py to run the server and connect to it. I haven't done much more than that yet, so there may be further problems, but this should give anyone in a similar boat a place to start. Getting a database working on the USB stick is next.
