1. Use the Ubuntu package manager
    sudo apt-get install python-django
  
    And optional installations :
    sudo aptitude install python-imaging python-pythonmagick python-markdown python-textile python-docutils
   
    Install Apache, Mod_Python, MySQL and MySQLdb. MySQLdb is the database bindings for MySQL. 

    sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-python

2. Use pip and PyPi, the Python package manager
sudo apt-get install python-pip python-dev build-essential

if you want to install django in a virtual environment. There is a bit of a learning curve to these tools, but they help you to get a good development environment.

sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenv
