install Django locally

[Staszek]

Hi

Is it possible to bundle Django with the application, or a number of
applications, instead of installing it in a system-wide location?

The instructions here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/install/ do not seem to
allow such a setting.

I was kind-of able to do it with PYTHONPATH=/some/path/to/django/, i.e.
this command-line program:

import django
print(django.get_version())

runs (and prints 1.6.1), but Django's own test suite does not seem to work:

$ ./runtests.py
Usage: runtests.py [options] [module module module ...]

runtests.py: error: DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is not set in the
environment. Set it or use --settings.

What's wrong?...

Hi,
It sounds you are looking for virtualenvironments,
http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/

It helps you to put everything related to your project in one environment.
