Re: Brief tutorial to get a django dev server up.
Try typing 'python' (or the full path to your Python executable) before django-admin.py. I'm guessing you're using Windows, and it's associating .py files with a text editor instead of the Python interpreter.

Good points. Anyone looking for information of this nature after reading this thread is sure to find information that helps. I write this as a Django novice, hoping that the process of writing tutorials for myself as I learn and submitting them to the community for some amount of review will push me further, faster. Thank you for the comments, hopefully you'll read my next post tomorrow and have more good info.

Re: Brief tutorial to get a django dev server up.
Since you asked for comments: The Django core developers are looking to discontinue Python 2.3 support soon, so it's a good idea to recommend 2.4 as the minimum, or state which version of Django requires Python 2.3 or higher. Just a personal preference, but I wouldn't recommend downloading and decompressing software to the root of the OS partition. It just clutters things up. Instead of copying django-admin.py, add its folder to the PATH, or just specify the full path when running it, since you'll only do that very rarely. You mention that Django comes with its own Web server in addition to supporting Apache and others. Technically, this is true, but it's very important to note that the built-in server is for development purposes only, because (among other reasons) it has not been tested or designed for security. It was never meant for production use, just development. A lot of this tutorial duplicates information in the official Django tutorial. However, the official tutorial doesn't do any special hand-holding for Windows users. Perhaps it would be helpful if you referred people to the Django site for the tutorial, and gave all the Windows-specific stuff you've had to figure out on your own to help out other Windows users. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/ Shawn -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
