Confused By Install Procedure

Hi,

I just downloaded the BitNami installer for windows and succesfully completed it. However, I already had python 2.7 installed and if I run the command line

import django

from my existing python install I get

ImportError:No module named django

I looked in

C:\Program Files\BitNami DjangoStack

and it looks like BitNami installed python again within its own directory, but it installed version 2.6. Couple questions:

1. Why did it install version 2.6?
2. Should I just delete my existing install and use the one created by BitNami?

Thanks.

Hi,

BitNami Stacks are self-contained so it includes their own Python files. Are you running the command from the use_djangostack from the Start Menu shortcuts?

Yes, thanks. I figured out the correct command prompt.

I am still curious why BitNami ships with python 2.6 rather than 2.7

Hi,

We will update Python in the future. It is in our TODO list.
