Then that is going to be a showstopper for doing Django work until you learn some Python. Django is a set of tools built on top of Python to be used in conjunction with Python. You cannot do anything codewise in Django without knowing Python. At that point you will be able to go through the tutorial, as Jonathan points out. Maybe somebody will type all the tutorial code and put it up somewhere for you, but, really, if you can't follow through the tutorial to the very end, you are going to struggle to do anything with Django. > Is there an example site offered where I can download and install and > just run it and get a page?

Well, no, it probably wouldn't in even the short run. Because then people would "get up and running" without knowing what was going on and so it would be even more of a trap and all we've done is postpone the difficulties for 15 minutes. The idea is to have a smooth learning curve, not a flat start and then a giant wall of difficulty. Also, as a practical technical matter, there are a lot of different variations as to what database to use, which operating system, file locations, etc. I predict there would be even more questions and problems with something like this than with the step-by-step tutorial for beginners that we have.
