ok, I switched to the 1.3.1 released version of Django, and also tried Python2.6 instead of Python2.7 on the dev version of Django. Things are still majorly broken, see the following in the django shell on a fresh startproject, I could not import even the top level django module. Then, I set PYTHONPATH to /home/nara/Django1.3/django, and after that, in the shell, I am still unable to directly import the admin module, I have to do this:
>>> import django >>> import django.contrib >>> import django.contrib.admin So, the problem is not just in the admin module, it is likely all over the place (entire django module hierarchy). Oh well, looks like I have to cool this off for a while. Thanks for everyone's help.
