I setup Python and Django using homebrew the easy way. I am going to detail the process now.
Install Python
|
1 |
brew install python |
The command should first install any dependencies for Python and then install the latest version from source code.
Adding Python to PATH
We need to edit our ~/.bash_profile to add “/usr/local/share/python” to the path variable. I added the following line to my bash profile:
|
1 |
export PATH=/usr/local/share/python:$PATH |
I reloaded the profile by issuing:
|
1 |
source ~/.bash_profile |
This makes the python tools and toys accessible from my terminal.
Install MySQL Module
It’s recommended that you already have “mysql” installed from brew to build the mysql module. I already had it installed so it was a painless installation for me. I just issued the command:
|
1 |
pip install mysql-python |
Install Django
I am going to keep using the PIP awesomeness! Let’s hit:
|
1 |
pip install django |
It will install django with any dependencies. You can now invoke the “django-admin.py” command from your terminal. However, I prefer the command be “django-admin”, instead of “django-admin.py”. So I created the following alias in my ~/.bash_profile:
|
1 2 |
#Django alias django-admin=/usr/local/share/python/django-admin.py |
Isn’t it simple? 😀

OS X comes with python. Why do you need it to be installed again?
Vaiya, because I wanted to install the latest version and keep my development environment separate!
Dear brother,
I can’t install mysql-python. I installed before. Last one month ago i had to send my mac for reinstall. Any way I have the following application-
MySQL – 5.6.11 ( Download .dmg from mysql official site
Python – 2.7.2 ( By default install)
pip list:
altgraph (0.9)
argparse (1.2.1)
bdist-mpkg (0.4.4)
bonjour-py (0.3)
Django (1.6.5)
djangotoolbox (1.6.2)
gntp (1.0.2)
macholib (1.4.2)
modulegraph (0.9.1)
mongoengine (0.8.7)
numpy (1.6.1)
pip (1.5.6)
py2app (0.6.3)
pymongo (2.7.1)
pyOpenSSL (0.13)
PyRSS2Gen (1.0.0)
python-dateutil (1.5)
setuptools (5.1)
simplejson (3.5.2)
Twisted (12.0.0)
virtualenv (1.11.6)
wsgiref (0.1.2)
xattr (0.6.2)
zope.interface (3.5.1)
So when I tried to install mysql-python, i got different type of error. I tried to install from source file version 1.2.2, 1.2.3, 1.2.5 etc.
I tried to install brew command.

Installing MySQL through brew (even if you don’t use the brew version later) would probably solve it. mysql-python package requires the mysql_config command available on $PATH. You can also find this command (it’s on your mysql bin directory) and manually add to path.
