Python development under Mac

Question

I've been developing python web apps using django and appengine. I'm planning on buying a macbook to develop iPhone apps. I wonder if I will be able to develop my python apps without too much changes on a mac , or if keeping them on a PC will be better?

Thanks

Answer 1

Macs run Unix, Unix makes python development even easier! (IMHO)

In other news: one of python's big selling points is that it's multi-platform, it can run as well on Windows as on Linux as on a Mac. Heck, here's a list of other platforms it can run on.

All that to say, you can move your python projects back and forth between a mac and pc with relative ease as long as you don't use any platform specific libraries. So, no you shouldn't have to do anything terribly special to make it work.

Answer 2

Developing python for app-engine on a mac works like a charm.
