Re: Django as a Standalone Desktop Application

What I did:
- Directory with: Project and Django.
- Python 2.7 download link.
- bootstrap.py with manage.py commandas

This way I didn't need to 'build a executable', which I tried, but
failed.

The trick was the bootstrap.py file with mange.py commands, like:
import manage
manage.execute_manager(manage.settings, ['manage.py', 'runserver',
'0.0.0.0:8000'])

So, the person on the other side has to just install python installer,
enter the project directory and double click bootstrap.py.

ps.: Sqlite as backend.
