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

[Lee Hinde]

I did read.  I am doing django on OS X. Python comes installed. MySQL  
provides an installer. Maybe I had to install setup tools, but that's  
it.

Now, I'm in if you need someone to complain about PIL installation.

But you're right, there is no apt-get. It's not Linux.

Maybe it would be easier to give your template person a Linux dev.  
environment they could log into. All they really need is a text editor  
if all they're doing are templates.

Sorry if this is terse. I'm sending it from my phone, which encourages  
brevity.
