/Coding/python/Django: Django "Hello World" Example

(Lifted from [1].)

On my Debian system, first install Django:

apt-get install python-django

cd to where you want to put your new Django web application, and create a Django project:

django-admin.py startproject djangoHello

which will cause a subdirectory djangoHello to be created, containing manage.py, settings.py, and urls.py, among other things. Now create an application within that project:

cd djangoHello
python manage.py startapp helloworld

which will create a helloworld subdirectory, containing models.py and views.py. Now edit djangoHello/helloworld/views.py to add the following lines:

Now edit djangoHello/urls.py, and add the line below after the line above (that will already be in the file):

#(r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
(r'^$', 'djangoHello.helloworld.views.helloworld'),

Make sure you are in the project root directory (djangoHello) and start the built-in Django server:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

and point your browser at port 8000 (localhost:8000 if browser and Django are on the same machine) and observer your "Hello, World!".
