Hi Michael,
For what it is worth, I'm using fink to do exactly what you describe. I am
using python and postgresql from fink with PyCharm as my IDE. I am
configuring my virtualenvs in PyCharm, building on the fink foundation.
I develop on my rMBP when I am travelling, and a Windows desktop when not.
I use a git repo on dropbox for version control and pushing/pulling code
between my machines.
The auto-start feature to start postgresql on boot is broken on Yosemite -
see my messages about this from a few months back. A simple command line
command is required to get it going. Finally, I use pgAdmin3 on both
machines for database inspection to ensure that my business logic is
updating the database records correctly.
This setup is working well - I am about 2 weeks away from first deployment
of my django application, superceding my built-from-scratch php/MySQL code.
There is a steep learning curve to django, but once you are part of the way
up, it's great - I love the database abstraction. It makes modifying or
adding models so much easier.
Best wishes,
R.
