[Answer]-Django on a Mac

There are unfortunately no equivalent of MAMP for Python. That being said once you’ll get virtualenv setup you won’t have any issue at all and be able to manage several projects with different versions of Django easily.

I’m not sure what you’ve tried but it seems that you’ve installed Django on the wrong python setup (maybe wrong virtual env?).

There are a few steps:

• Install homebrew
• Install PIP
• Install virtualenv & virtualenvwrapper
• create a vritual env
• install Django in it
• run Django in it

Then you’ll work within Python virtual envs and have no problem. Google “homebrew django mac”: http://hackercodex.com/guide/python-development-environment-on-mac-osx/ for example.
