Using NetBeans for developing Django applications

The initial infrastructure of the Django app should be created by the django script, as described in Django tutorial. Run this command:

python django-admin.py startproject

This will create a subdirectory in the current directory.

Then in NetBeans create a Python project (assume Python plugin is already installed) from existing sources. In the "run" properties of the project specify manage.py as the main module, and as command-line arguments put

runserver --noreload
