I think your best bet would be to follow John's advice:

I can vouch for this. Like you, I started with PHP and moved to
Python, and I had a heckuva time getting Django setup on Windows. I
would have a go at it, fiddle with it for a day or two, then leave it
alone for weeks or months at a time (in the meantime, I was using
web.py which was a little simpler for me to setup). Then, about 6
months ago, I made the switch. I ditched Windows and installed Ubuntu.
Not only was I able to get Django up and running with relative ease,
but my life in general as a developer has been much better. When it
comes to programming, you can't really beat a Linux setup (unless, of
course, you're programming specifically *for* Windows -- which is
certainly not the case for web development).

Good luck!
