Ubuntu as a django development platform
By : Javed
Introduction:
Hi, I am Javed Khan, also known as tuxcanfly elsewhere on the internets. I have recently joined agiliq and am thrilled to be a part of the team.
This blog post covers the steps I took to convert a fresh ubuntu install to a full fledged django development platform.
Databases:
Mysql sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client python-mysqldb Postgresql sudo apt-get install postgresql Sqlite sudo apt-get install sqlite python-sqlite
Version Control:
Git
need help setting up git with github?
sudo apt-get install git-core git-gui git-svn
Svn
sudo apt-get install subversion rapidsvn meld
meld is a diff/merge tool that can be used with rapidsvn
http://meld.sourceforge.net/
Mercurial sudo apt-get install mercurial mercurial-git hgsvn
IDEs:
WingIDE: not free, heavy on resources (reminds me of visual studio)
http://www.wingware.com/downloads
Eclipse sudo apt-get install eclipse Pydev for eclipse: better than WingIDE but still resource intensive http://pydev.org/download.html
Gedit: can be quite handy for quickly editing files but somewhat lacking on decent plugins
gedit plugins:
sudo apt-get install gedit-plugins
gedit file search plugin
http://github.com/oliver/gedit-file-search
gedit autocomplete plugin
http://github.com/nagaozen/gedit-plugin-autocomplete/
gedit pyflakes support
http://code.google.com/p/geditchecker/
vim
sudo apt-get install vim vim-gtk vim-addon-manager vim-scripts
django with vim:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UsingVimWithDjango
pida: reuses a lot of vim and its addons, lighter than most IDEs
sudo apt-get install pida
http://pida.co.uk/
Tools:
ipython: handy python shell
sudo apt-get install ipython
bpython: another python shell, more interative
sudo apt-get install bpython
pyflakes code cheker: checks your code on the fly while editing, shows syntax errors, unused variables etc, useful tool to avoid n00bish mistakes
sudo apt-get install pyflakes
vim plugin for pyflakes
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2441
Omni completion with vim: very useful, somewhat like intellisense of visual studio
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Omni_completion
Code completion with vim: python specific code completion
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=850
python debugger: remote debugger for python, can be used with any IDE, better than pdb from what I have heard
sudo apt-get install winpdb
Debugging django:
http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DebuggingDjangoWithWinpdb
refactoring tool: haven't used it yet, but goes with vim/pida sudo apt-get install python-rope
virtualenv, easy_install, pip: python package management sudo apt-get install python-setuptools sudo easy_install pip virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
python-imaging: imaging library for python with jpeg and freetype support (previously known as PIL) sudo apt-get install libjpeg62 libjpeg-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev python-imaging
python-crypto: sudo apt-get install python-crypto
Communication:
Dropbox
https://www.dropbox.com/downloading?os=lnx
Skype sudo apt-get install skype
Django:
Django, of course
http://www.djangoproject.com/download/
Suggestions:
I am vim addict, so I was inclined towards making vim work with python. I have tried out a bunch of IDEs but I think I'll go with Pida + vim (let the editor wars begin!)
Do you have a virtual machine with your most loved tools pre-installed?
What IDE do you use? (Vim is better, problem?)
Am I missing something cool?
Did you watch the latest futurama episode?
Let me know :)

Hey Nice Guide, being a python beginner its been very useful for me, Just hoping you could make the similar kind of guide(RoadMap for learning Django)like in the below link
http://techiferous.com/2010/07/roadmap-for-learning-rails/
This would be a great help for Django startes

It freaks the hell out on Mac a bit, but that's not really relevant to this thread so much. :)
Fabric? South? And, if I recall correctly, ipython works in virtualenv good only if installed inside this virtualenv

Regarding the IDE: I'm using Komodo, and so far haven't found anything more complete and at the same time flexible. And also cross-platform, which is a big issue for me.
