Thank you for your response. Your answer makes sense. If the source is set up as a package then in theory it can be installed on any platform with the command setup.py install. Thanks again. I will try again to set finish the set up on my Mac. Bob On Jan 16, 11:38 am, Tom Evans wrote: > On Mo

This isn't really an answer to your question, but here's my 2 cents. I'm in the reverse situation as you, Macs at work and Windows at home. I wasn't too interested in figuring out Django development on either after quickly disliking macports and never having the desire to develop on windows without
