Jeremy,
there's a concept you need to understand to progress here. its on that
took me while to properly understand, but which i think is natural to
someone in a foss development role, which i hadn't previously been.
the python path is the all important config item. it defines where
python look sfor modules. its important because if you "pip install
django-zinnia -E envname" then you'll install the module to the site-
packages directory inside djangos modules. however its also (usually?
someone correct me if im wrong) equally valid to download the source,
read through the docco and then copy the module to the root of your
site ("envname/projectname"). you'll need to import the module
manually where you need to use it, but you'll have worked that out
already.
any help?
