Boy, the speedy responses on this thread are great! I can't wait to get home from work so I can put this advice into practice. And now you know what I want for Christmas 😄 - a working installation of django and python to play with.

One more question before I dive in: I already have python installed. Are you suggesting I remove it and start over? No. What you will find is that virtualenv will pick up whatever python it finds and package it in a new self-contained area. At that point you will have full control over what additional things get installed. But it needs a python installation somewhere else to get started. If you have put a bunch of packages into your native python installation and are not sure what you have, you may want to re-install just to get a clean basic installation. But I haven't had to do that and would not bother unless you see other issues. hth - Tom On Tuesday, December 24, 2013 8:04:08 AM UTC-6, Timothy W.
