I've done Django development on multiple OSes and found 3 tiers of experience: Top Tier: any Linux or BSD I've played with (Debian, Ubuntu, OpenBSD). I expect other variants will be equally facile (Red Hat, Suse, Slack, Gentoo, PC BSD, FreeBSD, etc) Mid Tier: Mac OS X -- Doable, but a few more hoops to jump through. Easiest since Python2.5's added built-in sqlite3 which previously you had to build yourself Bottom Tier: Win32. It's feasible (especially once Python2.5 added sqlite3), but I've found this a notably more painful experience than on the other two tiers of platforms. I haven't tinkered with Solaris in *years* so I don't know whether that would be top- or middle-tier. However, once you've got the base configuration done, development is pretty easy no matter where you do it.
