Examples for Python and Django from my blog.
There are two example sets; PythonSandBox and DjangoSandBox, please read the README.md for each project for additional setup and configuration information.
PythonSandBox has examples of Python and the standard library, DjangoSandBox has examples of Django.
I was using Python 3.4 as this was the latest version available on my Linux box by default. You might want to check which version is in your path:
$ which pythonTo install the required dependant libraries use the requirements.txt contained in both PythonSandBox and DjangoSandBox:
pip install -r requirements.txt
To generate a requirements file or to see what libraries you current python environment has you can run pip freeze:
pip freeze
pip freeze > requirements.txt
More information about PIP.
I personally use PyCharm which handles virtual environments automatically. There is a community version for free though the paid version is worth the money especially if you are going to work on Django.
Otherwise I would recommend Virtualenv which allows multiple isolate Python environments.
I would also recommend VirtualEnvWrapper which allows easier switching between virtual python environments.
With virtualenv:
pip install virtualenv
cd project_dir
virtualenv myvenv
$ source ~/.virtualenvs/myenv/bin/activate
With virtualenvwrapper
$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
mkvirtualenv myenv
$ workon myenv
