RE: What is the best combination of components when installing Django on Windows 10?

For what it's worth, I use Windows 10 as my development environment.  We use Windows Server 2012 in production with PostgreSQL and Apache 2.4 with modwsgi.  We use Python 3.5 and Django 1.10.  All of our tools are 64-bit.  What's really nice is that we have a method to print webpages directly from the server so the user doesn't have to be pestered with all of the print dialog settings in his or her browser.  We use a combination of PhantomJS to render the page as PDF and gsprint for the actual printing.  In our legacy version of the project, we used Microsoft Access which had the nice feature of clicking on a print button to have the report sent directly to the printer, so we had to keep that feature going.  (Now we need to implement a feature for sending email through the user's Exchange mailbox.  Previously, we could use ActiveX to open the user's Outlook window.)
