Re: Re: How about a real django installer?

I actually haven't found installation on Windows to be very problematic. The only issue I've had was in tracking down all the relevant pieces needed to install. It's not one-click, but it's pretty straightforward.

I'll see if I can't gather up all the pieces, links, etc and write up a "getting running with Django on Win32" to match the MacOS X article I have: http://www.rhonabwy.com/wp/2006/07/20/installing-django-on-macos-x-development-version/

I think part of the problem is that there are literally thousands of
different types of "systems" it would have to know how to install for.
On good Linux distributions, or on BSD, Django isn't hard to install;
you can do a Subversion checkout to get Django, and then use the
system's package manager to install dependencies like database
adapters.

So the focus needs to be on systems where people are consistently
having serious problems:

* CentOS Linux appears, from the number of people I've seen
complaining about it, to be a horrifically bad Linux distro. I know
nothing about it, though.
* Mac OS X isn't hard to install *Django* on, but getting some of the
database adapters (particularly psycopg) can be a pain.
* Windows is apparently a horror story. I don't personally have access
to a Windows box (everything I work with is OS X or a Debian-derived
Linux distribution), so I don't even know where to begin.

Anybody with experience on these platforms want to step up and help
out with easier install processes?
