Postgresql and Django Configuration with Wamp - Adelton - Mar-19-2017
Hi there,
I am new to Python and I am trying to configure Wamp with Postgresql and Django.I have already downloaded both application but I do not know how to configure both with Wamp. I have watched countless videos pertaining to this and with regards to Django I need to install a file mod_wsgi.so.I have already downloaded the file mod_wsgi‑4.5.15+ap24vc14‑cp36‑cp36m‑win32.whl but I cannot find this file with the extension .so.With regards to postgresql I need to apparently uncomment these two entries ;extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll ;extension=php_pgsql.dll in the file php.ini.I just wanted to check if it is firstly possible to run a django project in wamp using postgresql and if these two approaches are correct and will permit me to run a web application using wamp. I just need to add that I can already run a python script in wamp using cgi.I would really appreciate your help in resolving this matter which has been taking an eternity to resolve.

Do not mess with Wamp and CGI at all,that make no sense for Python.
The normal way is using build in web-server for Django,Flask..ect.
With the build in web-server you build all you want regarding a web-app/site.
If want to deploy(share with world) then think of using a good web-server.
If i deploy i use Gunicorn with NGINX,this has a lot of power and are fairly simple to setup.
An other combo that is used for Python is uWSGI with NGINX.
Good hosts for Python Digital Ocean, Heroku ,PythonAnywhere, AWS Lambda.

I don't... think that's true. The built-in server is specifically only for development, for real-world usage isn't wsgi still the preferred method?

The build web-servers(Django,Flask..) is only for development local.
What i mean you can build test all local,when happy with result and want to deploy.
Then do not use the build in web-server anymore.
As i mention Gunicorn.
Quote:Gunicorn 'Green Unicorn' is a Python WSGI HTTP Server for UNIX. It's a pre-fork worker model.It's a production ready WSGI web-server.
Gunicorn is a stand-alone WSGI web application server which offers a lot of functionality.
Then is normal to Nginx in front,
as (reverse-proxy) server that handle the task of serving these files and managing connections (requests).
Nginx relieves a lot of the load from the application servers, granting you a much better overall performance.

Thank you both for your invaluable advice

Once your problem is resloved,
PostgreSQL is an excellent RDBMS choice!
