Is there a 'hello world' website for django? OR (I've installed django, now what) ?

Question

I'm learning Python and decided to start familiarizing myself with the (defacto?) Python web framework - django.

I have successfully installed the latest release of django. I want a simple 'hello world' website that will get me up and running quickly. I am already familiar with web frameworks (albeit for different languages) - so I just need a simple 'hello world' example website to help me get going.

Ideally, I don't want to mess up with my Apache server settings (as I am still experimenting), so I want to use the lightweight web server that django bundles. I cant seem to find how to do this on the django website though - no doubt someone will post a link and shame me ...

So, does anyone know of a link that shows how to get a simple 'hello world' django website up and running with minimal fuss?

Answer 1

I think the official tutorial says it all...

cd /path/to/your/code
python django-admin.py startproject mysite  #creates dir 'mysite'
python manage.py runserver

Answer 2

Next step? The (free, online and excellent) Django book.

Answer 3

Writing your first Django app, part 1 was a lot of help.

Answer 4

"Hello World" of django is the "Polls and Votes"
