Installing mod_python in xampp

Hello,

I am new to web development (but not to programming) and am
interested
in trying out Django. What is the easiest way to get
started? I have
xampp working, but I'm running into a roadblock getting the
mod_python
add-on installed. I have seen the following instructions:

http://addons.
xampp.org/project/3.html

But I'm still unsure about where to place the files in the
'lampp'
folder.

Any advice?

Thank you,

Rex

Hello,
If you want to get started with django, follow the tutorial
"Writing
your first Django app" located at
http://www
.djangoproject.com/documentation Django includes a built
in
development server. It makes it so you can pretty much start
using
django right away, and you can worry about mod_python later.
It helps
streamline the development a little, because with mod_python
you need to
restart apache each time you make a change. The development
server
reloads the models automatically, making it a very nice way
to do things.
I'm not familiar with the 'xampp' thing. It looks like you
are trying to
install mod_python as distributed by xampp. I just installed
mod_python
onto my linux server, and followed the vanilla mod_python
docs. You
might find better luck on a forum or mailing list specific
to xampp for
that issue.

Good luck!

Rex:

You might want to check out my stupid little project:

http://www.instantdjango
.com

It's a portable and standalone Django development
environment for
Windows. It uses the built in Django development server, and
sqlite as
the database backend.

It's due for some updates and bugfixes, and I really need to
finish
the second chapter of the tutorial, but it should work for
you, unless
you really need apache, mod_python, and a full database.

Thanks to both of you! I got it working. I also checked out
InstantDjango; reminds me of InstantRails, which I liked.
