versorge

For all those looking to run python on your local host and you are at work using windows: try the following steps:

1. Install Python (use ver2.5 if you need to use a lot of python compatible frameworks as most of them are currently available for ver2.5 only.)
2. Install a web server package like LAMP or XAMPP ( preferred ).
3. Go to your Apache folder and and in /modules copy the file of mod_wsgi.so. If you want to install mod_python download the zip file from internet and install mod_python.

4. For Django users use mod_wsgi .
5. Download latest Django package and extract it to some path.
6. Now in the Django directory run the setup.py file and then you are up and running.  
> python setup.py install
7. If you need MySQL support in Django download and install MySQLdb in your /Lib/site-packages/  .
