Tim, Okay I was able to get something to go there.
At first I saw warnings so I wasn't sure but here are the images. http://madtrak.com/ipython1.png http://madtrak.com/ipython2.png Do you think I am in good shape with ipython? To perform the easy install of django would i execute: easy_install.exe django? And if so would that just overwrite what I have already installed, like would it be good to do it a second time even though I think it worked the first. Honestly, I'd probably leave it for now just wanted your thoughts on easy install. Thanks!
