* This goes against Microsoft recommendations but I install Python2.x
and Python3.x in the root of drive C: so I'm not forced to use a
admin-privileged cmd shell.

* I put the following dirs on the Windows path ...

C:\Users\mike\bin and C:\Users\mike\bat

* I write batch files rather than virtualenvwrapper because it wasn't
available to me when I started using virtualenv.

* My favourite batch file in development is run.bat which launches
manage.py in various guises ... see below

* I use subversion running on my Ubuntu staging server plus buildbot on
the same machine. When I commit changes to the repo, buildbot blows the
staging site away completely and starts again from scratch and runs all
the tests. I know its not git but I like it.

* I use a plain text editor with syntax highlighting because I haven't
installed Pycharm. I've downloaded it but haven't had time to think
about it. I should.

Good luck

Mike
