Below is the behavior I'm getting from the Python shell. I get the
same (with the file path adjusted) no matter where I am in the file
system when starting the shell.
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Sep 4 2005, 22:01:42)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import myproject
>>> myproject
<module 'myproject' from 'myproject/__init__.pyc'>
>>> myproject.settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'settings'
>>> import myproject.settings
>>> myproject.settings
<module 'myproject.settings' from 'myproject/settings.pyc'>
>>>
Then I closed the python shell out and tried again doing this:
Python 2.3.5 (#2, Sep 4 2005, 22:01:42)

This is the exact same bahavior I get on my other boxes where things
work without problem. Also of note is that the first time I did
'import myproject.settings' a settings.pyc file was created. Of
course, that just confirms that django-admin.py is not finding the
file. After noting that the pyc file exists, I tried running
'django-admin.py init' again, but still a no-go. I'm at a lose as to
what else could be causing the problem.
