I'd been using MAMP quite a bit but Bitnami looks worth digging into. With most things Python-based it's hard to beat <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv" rel="nofollow">virtualenv</a> for development. Great for testing updates to new version of Django for instance. If your non technical users would like to play with Macports have a peek at <a href="http://porticus.alittledrop.com/" rel="nofollow">Porticus</a>. If nothing else you can install-over-the-phone by directing clicks to menus. Humans tend to freak out when step 1 is "go into Utilities and open Terminal.app" (and you are using <a href="http://iterm.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">iTerm</a>, right?). I tend to use git for vc more than anything and if you do a lot of work with Dropbox and two person development it's hard to beat. Swanky observations, Moon.
