Thanks, Shawn. I believe the PYTHONPATH is fine, because other views and templates that didn't have forms were working correctly.
But you're right about "addSample = sampleEntry(request.POST)" causing the error. I commented out those two lines and the error goes away, and the page displays. I suppose I need to put those items in a view to make them actually interact with the model. I also need to study the documentation a little more closely, it appears.
