30933	Update installation instructions for GeoDjango dependencies on Windows.	Adam Starrh	nobody	"~~I'm setting GeoDjango up on Windows and discovered that GDAL is (at least currently) incompatible with 64-bit Python. Using 32-bit Python and 32-bit OSGeo4Win, I was finally able to get it working. I suggest this be mentioned in the docs to circumvent future headaches for other users.~~

----

The installation instructions for dependencies of !GeoDjango on Windows are outdated.

Issues that need to be addressed include:

- It seems that there may be some as yet undetermined issue wit 64-bit setups.
- Not referencing only 9.x versions of PostgreSQL which are > 3 years old.
- Consider referring to other geospatial database backends. Why should Windows users be forced to use PostGIS?
- Replace outdated instructions for installation of psycopg2. We have binary wheels now that are more up to date.
- ~~Using OSGeo4W can lead to a newer version of GEOS than is supported by Django with no option to downgrade.~~
  - ~~Consider installing individual dependencies for GDAL, GEOS & Proj.~~"	Cleanup/optimization	new	Documentation	2.2	Normal		geodjango, installation, windows	Carlton Gibson	Accepted	0	1	0	0	0	0
