There's a misunderstanding here it's a) Not django docs but the opensource django book. B) the book ends up describing over a vast area all the possible different install options over Win/Mac/Linux. I appreciate its an open effort but as a newbie if you know something is better and according to other sources there is better practises would you trust the rest of the info or perhaps value it less ? @Tom GSWD does look like a good resource, and the docs do look ok. Just wanted to be able to work through a practical example when learning, we all learn best by copying initially and then tweaking with our options as experience increases. This is oddly the only value difference between rails and django is that there is far more online courses and tutorials to say "come join rails". It's just that I like python and the python Eco better.
