Python generic packages

You need django outside of virtualenvirontment for django-admin

pip install ipython
pip install virtualenv
pip install django

Create virtualenv environment

I use a folder in ~/Django not in Sites (static only)

django-admin startproject mydjangoproject
virtualenv -vv --python=python2.7 mydjangoproject/env

you can also use --no-site-packages. Each virtualenv environment will only have access to its own packages.

cd mydjangoproject
pip -E env install django

should work, but due to some bug in pip it's better to use

source mydjangoproject/env/bin/activate
pip install django

again you can check with pip --version whether it uses the virtualenv created pip in env/bin

thanks to this article

You can re-install all modules and dependencies from another virtualenv by

copied-from virtualenv

pip freeze > deps.txt

copied-to virtualenv copy the deps.txt to new virtualenv

pip install -U -r deps.txt

Installing mysql-python inside virtualenv environment

still in (env)

pip install mysql-python

will get you this error

EnvironmentError: mysql_config not found

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1

Storing complete log in /Users/jasper/.pip/pip.log

change in mydjangoproject/env/build/mysql-python/setup_posix.py

mysql_config.path = "mysql_config"

mysql_config.path = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config"

again run pip install mysql-python

Installing PIL inside virtualenv environment

still inside (env) type Freetype2 support

curl -O -L http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/freetype/freetype2/2.4.4/freetype-2.4.4.tar.bz2
tar xjvf freetype-2.4.4.tar.bz2
cd freetype-2.4.4

pip install PIL gives you:

Seems ok, check ./manage.py shell

from PIL import Image
i = Image.open('/Users/you/Picture/test.jpg')
i.save('/Users/you/test_save.jpg')

gives :

ImportError: The _imaging C module is not installed

hmm, import _imaging gives:

libjpeg has a problem.

Make django work with virtualenv

manage.py first line :

#!/usr/bin/env env/bin/python

install mod_wsgi with apache OSX

tar -xzvf mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz cd mod_wsgi-3.3 ./configure make sudo make install

[http://modwsgi.googlecode.com/files/mod_wsgi-3.3.tar.gz] [http://jessenoller.com/2009/07/24/django-mod_wsgi-apache-and-os-x-do-it/]

Make virtualenv work with mod_wsgi

in httpd.conf (osx) :

# wsgi stuff
NameVirtualHost *:80
WSGIPythonHome /usr/local/pythonenv/BASELINE
Include "/Users/jasper/Sites/nlarchitects/conf/apache_django_wsgi.conf"
Include "/Users/jasper/Sites/hcg/conf/apache_django_wsgi.conf"

in mod.wsgi file in django project :

import site
site.addsitedir('/Users/jasper/Sites/nlarchitects/env/lib/python2.7/site-packages')

create new mysql database

if you come from linux osx is a bit peculiar in using logins for mysql.

It's sort of recommended to set the root password /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password sniggle sudo mysql -p

gives you root access.

in mysql :

create database DATABASE_NAME;
grant all privileges on 'DATBASE_NAME' to 'YOURUSERNAME' identified by 'YOURPASSWORD';
exit

creates database and username/password combo, except password don't work (whyowhy), set it with sequel pro (freeware) or other program.
