.net developer but how do I setup Python and Django on widows?

I'm a .Net developer but the place I work at has 5 python developers and they want me to learn Python.

I have a laptop, windows 10. My manager said I can setup up Python and Django on Windows.

I found these but a developer it's very complicated.
Anyone has step by step instructions? Or these below good?
I need to install Django?
The Python projects are on 3.6 or 3.6.8

if those developers don't help you, QUIT!

I had similar work environment and I am FIRED!
Because, they said "you can only ask 1 question to any body on team per day. Max 3 question per day!"
and they expected me to learn everything from manuals reference books, existing samples, tech documents...
and expect 5000 lines of code per day...

They don't work on Windows server. I'll ask again, tho.

That place you worked at sounds rough :)

5000 lines... exaggerated maybe... Do not remember exact lines...
But copy paste works well if they count lines...

it was 2008, a company in Canada :)
It seemed pretty funny to me...
when they FIRED me, I was just laughing...

job was, customize a web based product using embedded scripts...
get the requirements, and for each one write customization and embed into portal...
so, each client will have their own rules, colors, branding, logic...

This is what my manager says. Is it necessary?

3.6.x, so any version is fine. would recommend the latest. my humble recommendation would be to use the WSL (linux) on Windows, and install everything in that (Ubuntu 20.04 would work). Then point your VSCode to the WSL directory where you installed stuff.

Getting a Linux Python dev environment working on native Windows isn't an easy task, and can result in hair loss, anxiety, and early onset male pattern baldness.

I am not sure which one is more difficult for you...

Using Phyton + Djongo for Windows

or

install Ubuntu on WSL\Windows and install Ubuntu and UX versions of everything and work here...

If I were you, I would start 1st route!
