Error creating new project

[Gaston]

Hello,

I'm new to Django and I'm following part 1 of the tutorial. When I try
creating a new project, the following error appears:

$ ~/programming/python/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py
startproject mysite
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/gafiore/programming/python/django-trunk/django/bin/
django-admin.py", line 2, in <module>
from django.core import management
ImportError: No module named django.core

I've installed Django from SVN following the installation
instructions, and I'm using Mac OS X.

Thanks a lot for your help,

-Gaston

You need to have django installed in your pythonpath.

You can see the current python path by running python console and 

import sys

print sys.path

If there's not the directory containing django sources, try adding the directory to the PYTHONPATH system environment variable, or symlink it somewhere to dir in sys.path

I believe I'm doing that, look at the last entry in the path:

$ python

I created the symbolic link as follows, with the appropriate
replacement for SITE-PACKAGES-DIR, obviously:

ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django SITE-PACKAGES-DIR/django

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error.

Thanks for your help,

Hi Gaston,

I am also pretty new to python. Once I had a similar issue, it turned
out to be permissions on the directories. Since you are creating a
symlink, make sure that all the directories have appropriate
permissions.

Regards,
Abhaya

OK.

Try:

ls SITE-PACKAGES-DIR/django

is there a "core", "http", "forms" dirs or dirs like examples, scripts, docs and "django"?

If it's the second case, then you need to symlink one "django" dir deeper:

unlink SITE-PACKAGES-DIR/django

ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django/django SITE-PACKAGES-DIR/django

 

Regards,

Ales

Thanks Ales, there were problems with the symlink. Deleting it and
just doing python setup.py install solved the problem. Thanks again
for your help!
