Hello Florian, If you are having trouble installing python without root permissions, you should consider installing the miniconda <http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html> distribution of python that is used in the scientific computing community. Assuming you are on a linux server, you can do this with
wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh chmod +x ./Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh ./Miniconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -b conda update conda conda create --name try_django django source activate try_django This will set you up with an isolated conda environment (similar to a virtualenv environment) where you can install packages without touching anyone else's packages. From there you can do django-admin.py startproject test_project cd test_project python manage.py migrate python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 And to get yourself set up with the django dev server running on top of sqlite. You can see the documentation for conda here <http://conda.io/>.
