Not sure that's really necessary with Django. Lavarel, like most PHP frameworks, require an HTTP server configured with just the right version of PHP, etc. just for development. Django is much simpler:

- django-admin startproject MyProject - cd MyProject - python manage.py migrate - python manage.py runserver

That should give you a very decent development server without requiring VirtualBox or anything like that. I'd recommend following the official tutorial if you want to give it a spin.

I really think it needs it. Although "start project" works as it is, I can't be bothered installing MySQL and configuring nginx - that takes a bit of time especially if you miss something.

There should be something like this for Django with all the "de facto" tech that a dev might need.

You don't use nginx in dev.

I do. with very similar configuration to production

Why? Not that hard to set up but seems overkill.

I've realized last week these simple steps to run a Django project, but, as I come from Node, I miss npm start.

Why not use a Makefile or Invoke (written in Python) to achieve this?. That's what I have been doing.

What's the difference?
