Installation Advice - Win/PostgreSQL/Django

[c...@ib-ent.com]

Hi, folks,

I have found a lot of Django installation checklists out there. Most are for very old versions. Others are rather vague, since they cover so many options. Still others assume that everything is hosted somewhere else. I have not yet been able to get the whole stack working in a local environment. 

Here's what I have done so far for my Windows development machine. If any of you could advise on how to get to the next steps, I would really appreciate it.

• Working, stable installation of Windows 7 (x64)
  
• Installed PostgreSQL 9.5.2
  
• Created a schema
• Created some tables
• Imported some data
• So far so good
• Installed Python 3.5.0
  
• (Started with 3.6 but had to downgrade repeatedly to find a version compatible with psycopg2)
• Win 64
• C:\> python -- version returns 3.5.0
• Again, so far so good
• Installed psycopg2
• Version 2.6.1
• Win 64 (psycopg2-2.6.1.win-amd64-py3.5.exe)
• Seems to be installed correctly
• This is the latest version. (It seems to be a beta-test release. It's a little hard to tell. However, it supports Python 3.5.)
• Django 1.9.6
  
• Downloaded and unzipped
• Didn't get any errors
• >>> import django
• No joy.
• PIP 
  
• Whatever comes built into Python
  
• Not entirely sure what version
  
• Command line responds
  
• Not sure what to do with it

Are there more layers to install? Do you see any obvious version issues?

One thing I noticed is that my Windows PATH environment variable is very long. If any of these modules are appending to it, that may not be working. I could try weeding stuff out of my PATH, but that seems like a long shot.

Thanks a million!

Where did you unzipped Django? (use pip command to install Django, and please use venv, virtualenvwrapper o virtualenvironment)

Take a look of this https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/windows/

For development you only really need django, you can develop with sqlite and deploy on a server using postgres, using postgres on the development machine is nice but not strictly necessary.
If this is for a production machine you will also need a webserver
