I think you made it more complex than it really has to be, especially for learning.
For a straight OSX install when I first started messing around with django. here is what I did. Step 1: download and install macpython from the python.org url is http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.5.1/python-2.5.1-macosx.dmg this ensures you have python 2.5.1 Step 2: download the stable version from http://www.djangoproject.com/download/0.96.1/tarball/ Step 3: On OSX, I untar it and install from my home dir. by doing this. Assuming I'm at my home directory. tar xzvf Django-0.96.1.tar.gz cd Django-0.96.1 sudo python setup.py install that's it. you are done. No need to mess with apache, no need to mess with mod_python. Worry about that when you are doing deployment, not when you want to get started and learn django. After these 3 steps above, you are ready to follow along the tutorial for 0.96 http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/tutorial01/ newbiedoobiedoo wrote: > i was totally stoked about python. it seemed like the best language > i'd seen > in a while. > > but i must confess i've just looked at the script for installing the > development > environement > http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SimpleBashScriptToSetupDevelopmentEnvironment > > this is after installing svn, trying to get mod_python installed, > etc. > > i'm a health care person, who does a little programming. > > i'm beat. i'm done. python is only for turbo charged hackers. > i might be able to program in it. but i sure as h*** can't install > it. > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
