In our situation, I write code on my Mac, and we deploy on Gentoo Linux. No any single compatibility issue or setup issue at all. Setting up our dev environment on Windows is a bit tricker than on Mac or Gentoo Linux, but it's still pretty smooth. If your Mac guy use the stock Python installation (2.3) comes with Mac OS X, then he should upgrade it from http://pythonmac.org/ packages/py24-fat/index.html immediately. With the combined help from that link, easy_install and darwinports (now rename as macports)/fink, the Mac ride will be flawless. －Cheng Zhang http://www.ifaxian.com 1st Django powered site in Chinese ;-) http://www.aiyo.cn Our 2nd Django powered site in Chinese --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
