Installing Django Framework using pip

The recommended way to install Django is with pip. pip is a tool for installing and managing Python packages.
Before installing Django, you need to install pip!


1. Install python
First things first – get Python! You can get the Python 2.7.3 (the current Python 2.x version as of this writing) 32-bit installer from http://python.org/download/.
C:\>python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 10 2012, 23:24:47) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
Type quit() to close the python interpreter
>>>
>>> quit()

NB: Before punning the command, remember to add the python on the windows environment PATH

2. Install Distribute. Distribute is a pre-requisite for pip
Download the distribute_setup.py file to you computer. Click on the file to install Distribute, or run from the command prompt.
C:\>python distribute_setup.py
