[Baypiggies] BayPIGgies meeting Thursday, May 27, 2010: Django, Lessons Learned in the startup world

[Stephen Lacy]

Does anyone out there have any development tips for working
locally/standalone on a Django project on a Mac?

Our production environment is Ubuntu+Apache+mod_wsgi+Django, and when I'm
developing, I use ubuntu, a replica of our database, and Django's manage.py
runserver.  But, our designer uses a Mac, and would like to have a
standalone development environment for doing template work.

I spent one evening looking at getting MacPorts + MySQL + Python + Django,
and it sure was a bear.  It was taking hours building xorg from scratch, for
some reason.  (i.e. via a "sudo port install <somepackage>")   Our project
uses several 3rd party reusable apps (django-registration at the very least,
but a couple others, like django-haystack) so I'd like something akin to PIP
on the Mac as well for installing those packages.

I googled around quite a bit, and didn't find an easy solution to this
problem.  What do you guys do?
