Python paths work by appending the search name to the end of everything in sys.path. For example, when you do `import django`, it looks for './django.py', './django/__init__.py', '/usr/local/django-trunk/django.py', '/usr/local/django-trunk/django/__init__.py', etc. None of those paths match. >>> On 8 January 2012 01:50, larry.mart...@gmail.com >>> <larry.mart...@gmail.com>wrote: >> >>>> I am trying to get django working on my mac.
