Thank you all for your help and suggestions. Last time I installed Django it took a full two days and I was nearly in tears at the end. Most of the time was spend trying to solve the problems that Kurtis is talking about, with the MySQLdb package. Although I am usually not a person who takes shortcuts, this time I'm really looking for the easiest way to just get the darn thing to work.
creecode, I tried the commands you suggested first. No matter which version I switched to, it still said No module named django, which seems weird but there it is. So I ran sudo easy_install django, just to see if it could be that easy. When the install was done, it seemed to work at first. I could run import django, no problem. I started the tutorial on djangoproject.com and got as far as setting up a db and running python manage.py runserver, before the dreaded "django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb" started showing up. God damn it. At this point I thinking maybe I should just switch to using PostgreSQL instead, if that would solve the problem. What do you guys think? /Angelika On Oct 27, 6:12 pm, Andre Terra <andrete...@gmail.com> wrote: > IMHO, If you can't understand how imports and sys.path work, it's best to > put the Django book aside and read up on the basics of installing and > running Python. > > Cheers, > AT > > > > > > > > On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 1:55 PM, creecode <creec...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Angelika may not want to get into virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper at this > > point.
