I have been developing python/django programs on a windows machine at work for several years and have been very satisfied with the functionality available from the available modules in windows.
I thought I would expand my universe and set up the development environment on a mac this weekend at home. I found some nice IDE's to use for developing on for the mac and then I found this web site that seemed to have a thorough approach to setting up the django environment http://hackercodex.com/2011/08/30/python-install-django-on-mac-osx-lion-10.7/ I was pretty satisfied with the core result. I then wanted to add some extra modules that I have employed routinely at work and ran into some difficulties. I wanted to use pyodbc and mysql and postgre modules to implement database functionality, as I do at my work. I was either unable to find the mac versions, or the versions available were source code that and not self installers that would need to be compiled, with the possibility, since they were not specifically made for Lion that after compiling they would function correctly. Just looking for feedback /input. I would really like to use the mac for development, because I like so many other web utilities on this machine. The solution I ended up with was using the mac as my base machine in order to use all of the utilities and simultaneously logging in remotely to the windows machine for django development. I don't want to start a border war, but does anyone have any suggestions on setting up the mac development environment. Just seemed like when I was looking for comparable modules, they were not always readily available.
