Great tutorial - couple notes for anyone trying to do this on Windows when I did this today
* Instead of an env/bin folder an env\Scripts folder was created, that's where activate and the rest of the tools are
* Instead of using source if you are using Powershell use "."
So instead of "source env/bin/activate" instead use ". .\env\Scripts\activate"

Anyways, thanks for the walkthrough. Quick, to the point, and easy to understand.
