Terminal colors on Mac

Trivial but useful.
If you are using bash, just edit your .profile (explanation):

# colors
export CLICOLOR=1
export TERM=xterm-color
export LSCOLORS=gxgxcxdxbxegedabagacad  # cyan directories
export PS1='\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;36m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Django is the favourite of Guido van Rossum

Django Project

Guido van Rossum said in the latest FLOSS Weekly podcast:

My personal favorite — and I expect that that will remain a personal favorite for a long time — is something named Django. … I highly recommend it.

Django has been my tool for a new project of mine, has been worth it the time spent learning Django and Python(right now my personal favourite programming language).
Django preferred setup is Apache with mod_python, this has make my choice easier because I’ve been always using Apache with PHP.
If you want to give it a try(I recommend it), read the Part 1 of the tutorial.
And if you have doubts about performance, read this.
