#57849 — Setting up for python django development with Debian Linux

Hi all,

I have been trying to set up a python, django, mysql, virtualenvwrapper 
and git development project and am really confused. All of the 
documentation seems to ignore the apt-get installation methods used by 
Debian Linux and its derivatives. Does pip install the same as apt-get; 
I don't think so. If I use virtualenvwrapper, how does this fit with the 
normal debian (wheezy) installation. I also need git which just confuses 
the situation even more. Must I give up the automatic updating system 
that Debian provides when setting up the development environment? The 
documentation centers on Windoz, Mac and generic Linux distributions and 
ignores the automation of the Debian installation. All of the 
documentation I have found concentrates on the installation of 
individual packages or on the use of python-django and is very sketchy 
on the overall virtualenv(wrapper), git, python-django file structure 
and installation order.

Any help with straightening out my brain in this area will be sincerely 
appreciated.

Gary R.

Have you seen this?
https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Distributions

It seems to be saying that the standard debian/ubuntu package 'python-django' works

I assume you've either worked this out or given up by now, but in any
case...

Firstly, pip doesn't install in the same way apt-get does. 

The general rule is: if it's a Python package (such as Django) use pip;
if it's not (such as MySQL) use apt-get.

Secondly, there is little if any need to install Python packages outside
a virtualenv. It's almost always more convenient to have them in a
virtualenv, rather than system-wide.

I just use apt-get to install Git and update it every now and then.
