:( As Daniel pointed out this is a simple case of RTFM.
I didn't read and my eyes and brain ASSUMED (you know what that does)
that 'django.contrib.auth' was 'django.contrib.admin' and just needed
to be uncommented in urls.
Well, guess what? When you add the proper line IT WORKS!
I am extremely embarrassed about this because although I am a newcomer
to django I am not a technical or even programming newbie. Thank you
for taking the time to point that out Daniel.
