I'm not sure which platform Django would be difficult to install on. I used it on App Engine at around the same time as your experience and found it simple, fle

  I did a bare metal install, and I sadly don't recall what was painful about it specifically; I recall fighting with Apache and Nginx and WSGI in some sequence of combinations. It is definitely designed for a larger deployment. My memory is that it felt very 'heavy weight'.

    In terms of fighting with Apache/Nginx/WSGI, I think you'd have similar issues with most other frameworks. During development, you can run a self-hosted Django instance with `python manage.py runserver`. Once you've developed your application and are ready to deploy, I'd personally suggest this guide (although others may have different opinions): http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django_and_nginx.html http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tutorials/Django.... It boils down to installing uwsgi, creating a wsgi config file (which specifies the path to your Django app, and it's name), and then telling nginx to proxy requests to your wsgi socket.

      It might be you're correct in general. The last few years, my team has worked with go fairly extensively for this sort of work, and it is a single line of go and a very short nginx block to get running. I think the difference was that django wanted python running through WSGI; the go servers expect to be running behind the scenes and just using nginx as a proxy.
