Have you ever used Anaconda on a regular basis and wanted to try web app development?
In this article, I will build a django environment for web app development with Anaconda.
The target OS is Windows 64bit.
Please refer to the following article to learn how to build an environment combining Anaconda and Visual Studio Code.
Build a virtual environment with Anaconda
First, let’s set up the Anaconda environment
Start command prompt and create a django virtual environment
conda create -n django_book python=3.8File name: “django_book”
Python version: 3.8
After the virtual environment has been successfully created, activate it from the command prompt.
After activating, check the python version
conda activate django_book
python -V
# Python 3.8.11Install django in a virtual environment
Next, we’ll put django into the anaconda virtual environment.
In this case, the virtual environment will be called django_book
Let’s search for django in Anaconda org and see if it exists
conda install -c conda-forge djangoModules installed in anaconda can be seen in the conda list
conda list

wheel 0.37.0 pyhd3eb1b0_1
wincertstore 0.2 py38haa95532_2I was able to get django in.
Create a django project
Now let’s start a django project
First, go to your working folder
cd Django/Getting_StartFrom here on, the procedure is the same as the official one
Create a project named django_project
django-admin startproject django_projectThis should create a django_project in the current folder
django_project/
manage.py
django_project/
__init__.py
settings.py
urls.py
asgi.py
wsgi.pyOnce the project is created, add the application to django
The name of the application this time is “blog”.
cd django_project
python manage.py startapp blogThis will generate a blog folder
blog/
__init__.py
admin.py
apps.py
migrations/
__init__.py
models.py
tests.py
urls.py
views.pyCreate the HTML and create what you want to display on the screen
Write the following code in blog/views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hi, World")Next, create urls.py in the blog folder
Once created, write the following code in blog/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]And also register the url of the app in django_project/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include #Add
urlpatterns = [
path('', include('blog.urls')), #Add
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]Start the django project and complete the site
Finally, start django
Start django from command prompt
python manage.py runserverClick on the url displayed in the command prompt to access it!
