Thanks a million, Kurtis! I followed your advice and I no longer get any errors when I run "python manage.py runserver". Hurray :) ! I'll probably give PostgreSQL a try once I've got the hang of python and django a bit more, since you were all so positive about that. My next problem is that the c

Okay, I think I've got the exact steps down needed to get this running right. If these are actually it, I'm not sure if I had any other prerequisites I can't think of at the moment, then it's a matter of copying and pasting 3 lines into your terminal. (Less than 5-10 minutes total) 1. Install "Bre

I'd give PostgreSQL a shot and see if it magically works for you. It's an awesome database. If you have any problems with it though, here's the "easy way out" I took. I just installed Mac Ports and never had another problem. Of course, you'll have to make sure you're using the Mac Ports tools you i

Thank you all for your help and suggestions. Last time I installed Django it took a full two days and I was nearly in tears at the end. Most of the time was spend trying to solve the problems that Kurtis is talking about, with the MySQLdb package. Although I am usually not a person who takes shortc

IMHO, If you can't understand how imports and sys.path work, it's best to put the Django book aside and read up on the basics of installing and running Python. Cheers, AT On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 1:55 PM, creecode wrote: > Angelika may not want to get into virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper at th

Angelika may not want to get into virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper at this point. If you're just getting into Python/Django it may be more overhead than you want to deal with conceptually at this time. If your project is simple or you're just learning then you may want to wait until you feel t

Hello Angelika, As a test you may want to try the defaults command ( for more info "$ man defaults" and/or google "mac os x defaults" ) to see if your Django install is still in the site-packages of an older version of python. Try something like this on the command line... $ defaults write co

Mac OS has always carried multiple Python installs. You can start python using python2.5, python2.6, and on Lion python2.7. Those installs are under /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/ but links to the executables are in /usr/bin/. When you install Python packages, they get installed in /

Good luck with installing MySQL-python. You'll probably see an error at some point that the Module MySQLdb is missing if you use MySQL and don't install it. Last time, with Snow Leapord, I had to install "Mac Ports" to get it working. If you don't want to use the complexity of the virtual environm

You can run different versions of python using virtualenv [1]. It is hands down the best way to handle multiple python environments. You can use virtualenvwrapper [2] to automate some of the process. I'm not sure how good it is on Mac OS, but you should be fine. I found a link [3] that looks like

Thanks, Tom. I see. So basically I need to reinstall Django, if I want to run it on Python 2.7.1, is that it? As far as I can tell, the older versions of Python are still installed on my machine. Does that mean that it might be possible to run an older version instead, and not have to reinstall Dj

Hello, I'm new to both Python and Django. A few months ago, I installed Django on my mac (running Snow Leopard). I took me quite some time, but I got it running. After that I didn't get around to doing anything with it. A few weeks ago, I upgraded my mac to run Lion and now, when I type import dja
