I currently maintain and run a big ol' Django project running on Apache/Windows/MSSQL (and some Oracle) here (university of Arizona). It's not that bad although myself and the other developer both use mac's so its annoying having to RDP in to do anything in a python shell.

If you only use the shell, can't you use something like an SSH daemon on Windows and ssh to it?

Is there any decent SSH daemon on Windows? And what shell does/would it run? cmd.exe?

Some people dislike it but I use Cygwin when I want access to the various unix standard tools on a Windows box (including the openssh daemon).

The setup.exe is both the installer and the package manager.

I recommend trying out Mintty for Cygwin if you haven't already. I love it.

Have you tried powershell remoting ? It's close.

Unless I'm mistaken, this isn't possible in OSX is it?

no, but you can use a Windows VM.
