If the CLI is the only thing stopping others from setting up the server, then why not write up a neat little installer with a desktop shortcut to run the Django server? Easiest method would be to use NSIS to create the installer, bootstrapping on the packages needed from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ Alternatively if you have a bit more time on hand (or your compilers and whatnot are already setup) bootstrap MinGW onto your NSIS and set the PATH and modify the necessary Python files accordingly. Then you wouldn't need to bootstrap anything but distribute (http://packages.python.org/distribute/) and then you can just silently run all the pip's and have it virtualenv'd all the way down to a Desktop shortcut :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
