Python/Django environment on Windows 7

Can someone tell me real quick how you set up a Django environment on Windows? I need Apache, MYSQL, SQLite and Python. I have a XAMPP and WAMP server on my computer that I use for PHP web applications. I just need someone to tell me how you personally set up a DJango environment on your windows machines. I am quite new to the Python world, so please excuse my ignorance. Thank you all in advance.

Python has some installation tools which make installing packages a breeze.

First install python. There are executables for different versions available. http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.7.3/

Then install python setup tools: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/

After this you can install pip:

easy_install pip

Once pip is installed you can install django by using pip install django. If these commands are not in your path you will have to execute them from your python directory!

You don't need apache or mysql on you dev machine, django has a http server for testing and uses sqlite for default.

after setting up your project just use:

python manage.py runserver

then you should be able to open your django project on your browser: http://localhost:8000/

I also suggest that you take a look on virtualenv

I use cygwin with the python, vim, and rxvt-native packages installed.

This gives me a Linux like environment on my Windows machine without actually having to have Linux installed.
