Some quick instructions for getting up and running with django on leopard …
Checkout Django
svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk django_trunk
Tell Python where Django is
sudo nano /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages/django.pth
Place your path into the .pth file
/Users/enter-your-path-here/django_trunk
Tell your system where Django Admin is
sudo ln -s /Users/enter-your-path-here/django_trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py django-admin.py
Download Easy Install … go into directory where you downloaded .egg
sudo sh setuptools-0.6c9-py2.5.egg
Download Package for MySQL
unzip it and go into directory …
easy_install .
(don’t forget the .)
Note: I already added mysql to my path during mysql install.
Now make sure it all works
python
you will enter the interpreter …
Verify that MySQLdb is correctly installed:
import MySQLdb
MySQLdb.apilevel
should print out : ‘2.0′
Now, verify that Django is working:
import django
print django.VERSION
should print out : (0, 97, ‘pre’) … or something similar …
By running exit() get out of the python shell, and verify that django-admin.py is in your path:
django-admin.py
should print out : Type ‘django-admin.py help’ for usage.
I think thats it … short and sweet … here are the references I used:
