If you *do* install django from Macports, you have no control over the version you are using. So for the django part - just an svn co and a symlink to the python site-packages directory is all you need. -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
