Migration from Linux to Windows Setup

[shocks]

Hi

I've been using Django for a while on a Linux setup. For this next
job, Django will have to run on Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 and
MySQL. The question I have relates to migrating a project from Linux/
OS X to Windows. I don't have a local Windows box setup at the moment
and I will develop on a OS X test environment and then deploy the site
onto the Windows box. Is this a bad idea? What issues could there be
developing in OS X and deploying the site over to Windows? I'm trying
to avoid having to upgrade to a new Mac to run Windows through
VMware. I'm wondering about file and path issues, configuration, and
differences between Python/Django on different platforms.

Some specs of the site are:
1. CMS (just the admin tool) with multiple users
2. Uploading of images and other content
3. WSGI integration
4. Blog
etc...

Cheers!
Ben

Hi,

you shouldn't really have to change any of your code just the
settings.py file to reflect your new system layout.
I am not sure about IIS and python, i am sure there will be a lot of
hits when you google "python iis".
Mysql should not be a problem either.
Windows is less restrictive on directories so it should be easy to get
the "uploading" to work.

I develop on Windows, but host on linux. (using svn you keep the live
system up to date).

The main issue will be running your project via IIS (never done it so
dont know).
