I started to use vagrant to hold my development environment, it helps to keep the development environment isolated, since the app will run on a Linux server, with a specific database engine and probably some other specific modules, I don’t want to clutter my OS with all that stuff. More if I plan to work on another project that maybe, have a dependency on other versions of the same base (legacy Django perhaps?)
So, Django… Django have a nice mechanism that helps development, you don’t need a running web server to try your project. No need to have Apache/NGINX for that, and better yet, every time you update a python file it reloads the module so you always have reflected your changes.
