django works with Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.2 or 3.3 versions. All these versions come with a lightweight database called 'SqlLite' included with them. This database is enough to start developing small to medium web applications. More about databases later on.
It is recommended that you learn Python in order to understand or write code using this framework. Python is easy to learn and understand.
For now, let us get started by first downloading Python in your system. It can be downloaded by visiting Python web site and click on the 'Downloads' option.
You will find that there are two versions of Python to download 'Python 3.4.1' and 'Python 2.7.8' . As the numbers signify, Python 3.4.1 is the latest version but I had problem installing and configuring it in my system. Python 2.7.8 is enough to start working with Django framework and so we shall go ahead and download that.
When you click on the 'Python 2.7.8' button, you will be prompted to install or save it. This picture shows the response when using Mozilla Firefox browser.
If you are using Google Chrome or Opera browser, it automatically saves the file in 'Downloads' folder.
If you are using Apple Safari browser, you will be prompted either to open the file directly or save it.
But, if you are using Internet Explorer, when you click the 'Python 2.7.8' button, instead of getting prompted to open or save the installation file, you will be redirected to another page about Python 2.7.8 Release. Here, there are links to download the desired version.
Choose the version of installer and click on that. You will be prompted to either run or save it.
