Since I wrote that little guide Heather links to, I should point out that while the mod_python bit works fine, the real problem on a macbook with Leopard installed ends up being mysqldb (see <http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/>). I never have been able to successful compile a version of mysqldb that would work with Leopard's default Apache and MySQL.
In the end I wanted to mirror my remote production setup as closely a possible so I went ahead and installed my own Apache2, python 2.4 and the rest (OS X 10.5 comes with python 2.5, which can cause problems when your production environment is python2.4). But if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me. cheers sng <http://luxagraf.net/> On Jan 19, 2008 10:32 AM, Heather <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You have to do some editing to make it work for 64 bit.
