I'm new to web frameworks and am trying the Django tutorial (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/intro/tutorial01/)
Environment: Windows 7 64 bit Python 2.7 32 bit Installed Django V1.5.1 with (not using virtualenv): pip install --upgrade django Get 'Successfully installed Django' message Then followed the tutorial instructions and cd into my trial directory called tmp, then create base application using: django-admin.py startproject mysite Resulted in the expected creation of: mysite/ manage.py mysite/ __init__.py settings.py uls.py wsgi.py Then cd into outer mysite directory and use: python manage.py runserver This gives the following traceback: Validating models... Unhandled exception in thread started by <bound method Command.inner_run of <django.contrib.staticfiles.management.comman ds.runserver.Command object at 0x03008C90>> Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\commands\runserver.py", line 92, in inner_run self.validate(display_num_errors=True) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\base.py", line 280, in validate num_errors = get_validation_errors(s, app) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\core\management\validation.py", line 35, in get_validation_errors for (app_name, error) in get_app_errors().items(): File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\loading.py", line 166, in get_app_errors self._populate() File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\loading.py", line 72, in _populate self.load_app(app_name, True) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\loading.py", line 96, in load_app models = import_module('.models', app_name) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\importlib.py", line 35, in import_module __import__(name) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\models.py", line 370, in <module> class AbstractUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin): File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 213, in __new__ new_class.add_to_class(field.name, copy.deepcopy(field)) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\base.py", line 265, in add_to_class value.contribute_to_class(cls, name) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\fields\__init__.py", line 257, in contribute_to_class cls._meta.add_field(self) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\django\db\models\options.py", line 179, in add_field self.local_fields.insert(bisect(self.local_fields, field), field) File "c:\python27\lib\functools.py", line 56, in <lambda> '__lt__': [('__gt__', lambda self, other: other < self), File "c:\python27\lib\functools.py", line 56, in <lambda> '__lt__': [('__gt__', lambda self, other: other < self), . . almost 500 repetitions until recursion depth error . .
