[Tutor] Preparing virtualenvwrapper for Django 1.6 development

[Sithembewena Lloyd Dube]

Hi everyone,

I am developing on a Windows 8.1 machine and wold like to setup
virtualenvironment via virtualenvwrapper so as to have a properly set up
Python development environment.

I am referring to Jeff Knupp's guide at
http://www.jeffknupp.com/blog/2013/12/18/starting-a-django-16-project-the-right-way/

After installation of virtualenvwrapper via pip, the guide says:
"
After it's installed, add the following lines to your shell's start-up file
(.zshrc, .bashrc, .profile, etc).

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/directory-you-do-development-in
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
"

My issue is, I do not understand what these lines are doing (I have a vague
idea but assumptions can be deadly). Moreover, it is clear that the
instructions were authored with a UNIX environment in mind.

Would anyone be so kind as to translate this to Windows speak, as well as
perhaps pointing out what file this would go into in a Windows environment?

Thanks in advance :)

Kind regards,
Sithu.
