AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect'

Hi there,

I'm trying out FeinCMS, but I'm having some trouble getting it set up on my computer. I'm new to Django, and have only limited experience with Python, so my errors are probably typical newbie errors, sorry. I get the following error when I run python manage.py syncdb:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm running Debian Lenny with Python 2.5, and installed Django, mptt and FeinCMS using easy_install. I've tried (generally) following through the documentation, though I realise this is still a work in progress. FeinCMS looks good though, from what I've seen.

Thank you in advance for any help on this.

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no release of django-mptt which works with
current Django versions (1.0 and 1.1). You need a subversion checkout
of mptt.

Since django-mptt is not really maintained anymore (there are recent
commits, but the issue tracker hasn't gotten any love recently it
seems) I've started my own django-mptt fork on github. You can also
get mptt from there if you want; I haven't done much testing yet
though. It's the version I'm running myself, so it should work for
FeinCMS.

Thanks,
Matthias
