You can use InstantDjango instead of the usual installation

Question

Is it possible to do development only with Instant Django? Do I need to have a normal version, or can I just use this instant version? Has anyone used it?

Answer 1

Of course, you can use InstantDjango for development. InstantDjango uses SQLite3, which is a very reasonable relational database for inline or light / sometimes moderate use. The whole purpose of django is that the ORM layer provides database portability.

However, I would not use InstantDjango to deploy in the middle of a serious web application. SQLite just doesn't scale as close to Apache (etc.) as possible with MySQL / Postgres. In some cases, the way SQLite handles data types (or rather gloss over data types) can lead to problems with the django application, which will later be deployed using MySQL / Postgres ... if you are developing SQLite, always check its actual deployment environment before going live.
