Here's what I did to install it on Windows without too much mind bending:
- Download 'Django-0.96.tar.gz' or whatever the latest version into C:\1 directory
- Unzip it - the directory 'C:\1\Django-0.96' got created
- All from the command prompt:
- Run: subst J: C:\1\Django-0.96
- Run: J:
- Run: setup.py install - now it works flawlessly.
- Run: C:
- Run: subst J: /d
