This is likely the cause of the problem. You should always install packages with setup.py (as mentioned by the previous poster). I've found Mac OS X to have lots of "false" site-packages folders. setup.py will make sure it gets to the correct one. Also some packages may have extra installation steps (not sure if Django does) which are skipped if you simply drop the source into place.
