versions collected as of nov 14 2012

======================================== MAC
I'm using macports 
$ sudo port install python27 py27-pip py27-django
(not even sure if pip is needed then...)
-> 1.4.1_0

NOTE: I haven't found the magic sentence to expose django-admin-2.7.py
as simply django-admin.py
There's this 'port select' command that can be used for selecting
which python to use, which I believe would come in handy here too
Except that it insists on taking a so-called 'group' name and I can't
find out what to use here

~/git/django-playground $ port select --list django
Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group
'django' does not exist.

======================================== fedora(16)

======================================== debian(wheezy)
