I was able to install Django to my machine and before I was using the command prompt. Django's path is in my Windows 7 64 bit Enterprise Environment variable. Python worked fine as well too. I also installed IPython because I heard it was useful but I haven't tried that yet. Everything has been good so far. I would like some input on what I am currently trying now.
I have gone ahead and installed IronPython. I already had Visual Studio 2010 on my computer so I was using that. I also installed Python Tools for Visual Studio. As I mentioned before I already have Python 2.7.2 installed.
I was able to see the image/window in step 3 here: http://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Installation%20-%20details&referringTitle=Home
It shows the options pane for Python Tools for Visual Studio. I was able to see that PT4VS (Python Tools for Visual Studio) was correctly including the location of the Python install at C:/Python27/python.py. Everything looked good there as it seems that Python was incorporated into PT4VS. I was trying to continue through the tutorial but I was having problems. I tried this command: python manage.py runserver but I only recieved a traceback error.
Additionally in PT4VS there is a field for a startup script. I wrote one and here it is:
import os
import IPython
import django
os.chdir('c:\\MTDevelopment\\Django\\newartists')
This so that I could change my directory to where my startproject was set with all the django web framework files. Also to import IPython and django as you see here. That seemed to work as I anticipated.
What I am asking you is why am I not able to get the full power of Django? In my command prompt I wasn't inside the python interpreter and ran the Django commands and everything worked fine. However, I was under the impression that with a Python interpreter in VS that I could have everything come in in a start up script and just go on my way coding with Django having set the directory to the location of my startproject?
When I type: django and IPython into my PT4VS now I see:
>>> IPython
<module 'IPython' from 'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\ipython-0.11-py2.7.egg\IPython\__init__.pyc'>
>>> django
<module 'django' from 'C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django-1.3.1-py2.7.egg\django\__init__.pyc'>
so it is imported it correctly I think but I'm not able to use it. I've been working hard on teaching myself how to get all this set up and any help from you all would make my time working on this a lot easier!
Thanks so much,
JJ Zolper
