Re: New to Django & Programming - Trying to work with the tutorial. How to edit mysite/settings.py

You need a text editor. Source code is plain text, so something like Notepad will work. But in practice, you'll want a source code editor. There are many out there, some free some paid. My personal favorites are Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/) on Windows and TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/) on Windows. Though I haven't used it myself, Sublime Text (http://www.sublimetext.com/) looks really cool.

You could also use an IDE (which is an editor plus other project management tools). I prefer PyCharm (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/) for this. Or on the free side, try Aptana (http://www.aptana.com/)

Happy coding!

Hello, I'm new to Django and programming. I'm going through the tutorial here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/ to start learning. I'm at the Database setup part and it says: Now, edit mysite/settings.py. I'm at a loss how exactly to do this. What command exactly do I enter to achieve this?

Thank you for your help.
