Maybe so, but unfortunately I'm just too much of a Python newbie to
try tackling that, while the clock is ticking for the Django app I
must get thru the door.

It's getting frustrating, all of this obstacles (which I believe are
not Django's fault, but related to sysadmins' ignorance). We *really*
need to think of a "providing Django support" tutorial for sysadmins,
as we discussed briefly in the last few days... otherwise a lot of
people would be scared away from Django because it's "too hard" or
"unsupported".

Anyway, I'll keep you posted, thanks a lot to you all!
