Overview[edit]
Any information relevant to doing Django development on Windows.
Software[edit]
See also Django Development on Mac and Python Virtual Environments
Python[edit]
(version 2.7.3 ~3.2 is the version referenced by the current Django tutorial)[1]
Django[edit]
- How To Install Django - Django Documentation (version 1.8)
- download link (Windows)
Database[edit]
Recommended database is PostgreSQL.
The PostgreSQL server is running on littledamienii. It's not necessary to have a local database server.
However, python does require the psycopg2 package in order to connect to the database.
Cygwin (Bash shell for Windows)[edit]
There is a local version of the distribution.
PyCharm[edit]
IDE for Django/Python development
IDE[edit]
PyCharm[edit]
I have been using PyCharm. There are other options, but this seems to offer a lot.
- Can connect to databases from within the IDE.
- Debugger.
- Runs a server within the IDE for debugging purposes.
Similar this command from the Django tutorial:
c:/myproject> python manage.py runserver 8080
- Can create a Django project
Analog to the following command from the Django tutorial:
c:/myproject> django-admin.py startproject mysite
Other IDEs[edit]
Notes on other IDEs as they are used or tested. Esp. any features that they offer that PyCharm does not.
A lot of people simply use vim or notepad++. But those are simply text editors, albeit with pretty-print in the case of notepad++. They don't offer debuggers or database browsers.
- Sublime Text
Articles & websites comparing Python IDEs[edit]
- PyCharm Vs Sublime Text - Open Source Hacker
Debugging[edit]
PyCharm[edit]
- Create all Django projects to be debugged from within PyCharm:
This will create a project environment where the PyCharm debugger can run.- File > New Project
- Project name: [project name]
- Location: [d:\path\to\parent_dir] (PyCharm will match the actual project directory name to the project name.)
- Project type: Django Project
- Click OK
- Enter app name and template directory in the next dialog if desired.
- Click OK
- Run the debugger once the code has been added.
- Run > Debug ProjectName
- This will start up a server running the site on `http://127.0.0.1:8080
(or whatever port is configured in the configuration). - Set the appropriate breakpoints.
- Load the site in a browser to test GET requests.
Runcurl` to test POST requests.- PyCharm will stop execution at the breakpoints.
