9912	Docs: Adding info about other Webserver IPs than 127.0.0.1	ed42	Jacob	"This chapter:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#the-development-server

.. should be complemented on how to allow access from other IPs than localhost (127.0.0.1).

As mentioned here:

http://forums.site5.com/showthread.php?p=139864

.. the python-webserver can be started with to allow access from non-localhost IPs:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Restriction to localhost makes sense from a security aspect, but prohibits access in virtual machine environments (like running python/django on a linux server that is hosted on Windows XP or OS/X via VMware).

This took me some time to figure out - a hint on 0.0.0.0:xxxx should help others to avoid the hassle.
