now create an empty folder, then open your command prompt or terminal and type cd(change directory), and then drag the file u created to command prompt and press enter.

and type this command python -m venv ll_env it's create a virtual environment of which u can install libraries without conflict with the existing ones

bottle allows u to code in whatever style u want and that is the problem, it allows begineers to write code in an unmaintainable way.

Open Command Prompt with administrative permission:
click on start button, type cmd, right click and select run as administrator, then run the pip command again.

Also close any python ide or process, cos windows can be crazy sometimes and deny access when another process is running.

u did activate the virtual environment

olamil34:
u did activate the virtual environment

Well, yes, here is what I did, i tried activating using the command given on this post and it gave an error message, so I went into the folder Scripts, looked for "activate", ran the script then tried installing Django then that error message.

make sure that Python "Scripts" directory is included in your system environment variables. Then you can use all those commands. Better still, ditch Windows and install Ubuntu.

No. It doesn't. I've used bottle and its fun. With Object Oriented programming, you can implement MVC style in bottle, and did I forget to mention that bottle is faster than Django? Yes. It is. Bottle helps you to master python not "batteries-included" django. However, the lacking points in bottle are: form generation and validation, database access, and authentication. You still can implement these using WTForms for form validation, Sqlite3 or psycopg2 for raw data access (or the powerful SQLAlchemy or peewee orms), and open-auth for authentication.

dear friend, bottle is lower level web framework, thank for say that it lacks database access and authentication which is important for any web appilication development, so any beginner that does not understand what mvc means, could write code in slow, nasty, and digusting way.

Nginx to serve files. Literally, hundreds of Nginx sessions are spun.

Django sits in the back. Requests are cached and nginx serves files.

Django is slow. It has been proven over and over again.

This gives you a place to start. Its not to tell you not to use it. But understand, when to use Django and when not.

Building a small app, why django, building an api, why django

Ditch virtualenv.. download miniconda from the anaconda website install it.

open cmd.exe
run: conda create -n django python=3.5 django
after it installs
start the environment with
activate django
close the environment with
deactivate django.

Op..teach d django...abi we no know if bottle or plate de be4?..d topic clearly stated django not which python framework is better!

we will now create a project, first what is a project ? Well a project is like container that helps you manage the apps(code) you create it is more like a configuration file for django.

type the following command on your terminal or command prompt.

> django-admin startproject website(or any name you want to give) .

now we get into the fun stuff

we will now create an app(this will house most website logic), go into terminal or command prompt and type

> python manage.py startapp blog

this will create a folder called blog inside your home project and will contain views.py(handles the request from the user), models.py(your database), admin.py(cool admin app from the developers of django).

any question so far
