I am a complete newbie with regard to web development, Linux, Python,
and Django. My experience is with VBScript, VB, and PowerShell in a
Windows environment. I am very interested in learning open-source web
development and Django/Python/PostgreSQL seemed like an excellent
route, but I'm unsure how to get started with a development
environment.

At home I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I have
installed Python 2.5.2. I have signed up for web hosting with
WebFaction (http://dougireton.net) and they have setup a Django app
for me as follows:

***** DJANGO INFORMATION *****
* Django-1.0 is installed and runs on top of mod_python 3.3.1/
Python-2.5

* A default Django project is installed in $HOME/webapps/django/
myproject.
* Remember to turn off debug in settings.py because it leaks memory

Should I develop locally on my Mac, i.e. install Django/PostgreSQL
locally and then upload to WebFaction, or create/open files directly
on my WebFaction server via SSH or FTP?

Also, recommendations for an IDE would be appreciated - TextMate,
Komodo, IDLE, etc?

Thanks,
