Installing Django on Mac OS X Leopard

I am building a Django application that has to be hosted on a Leopard Mac OS X Server.

The road to success has not been easy. I first went down the path of using MacPorts and that lead to difficulty. I ran into well-know problems of 32 bit versus 64 bit conflicts between MySQL, MySQLdb and Python.

To date I have found an equilibrium by installing MacPython 2.6.6 and the 32bit version of 5.1 MySQL. So far so good.

I have installed mod_wsgi and will attempt next to publish the Django application next.
