That did it, it's working great! Two final questions:
1. How do I create a symbolic link so that typing "python" into the Terminal will pull "/usr/local/bin/python"? 2. I was forced to do a /usr/local/bin/python setup.py install of Django rather than install via SVN--should I bother setting up the SVN if I'm just learning it? Thanks once more!
