ImportError: No module named django.core.management

[tampler_knight]

Hi all,

I installed the 'Django poll application' that comes with the Django
tutorial.

When I try to start the webserver using the command

C:\django-poll\mysite>python manage.py runserver

I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 2, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_manager
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

Would really appreciate if someone please advised me as to what am I
doing wrong.

BTW, I am using Windows XP SP2 and have Python 2.5 installed on my
machine.

Thanks in advance.

Python isn't finding Django in your PYTHONPATH.  You do not say what version of Django you installed or where you put it.  Apparently you did not use the setup.py procedure which puts django in your Python site-packages directory so that it is automatically found by Python.  That is fine, but if you choose not to install django in site-packages then you need to set your PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to django so that python can find it.  See:

Thank you so much for the reply, Karen. Greatly appreciated.

I am using Django-0.96.2 which is installed in the C drive of my
machine (running Windows XP SP2).

As advised in the documentation, I tried to use 'setup.py install' but

I get the following error:

C:\Django-0.96.2>setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
error: package directory '\django' does not exist

Can you please advise me how I can get rid of this error.

Thanks in advance.

Honestly I'd recommend upgrading to an SVN checkout of django.  That error, along with other Windows-specific problems with setup.py have been fixed in the current code.  Plus you get over a years worth of bug fixes and significant improvements (unicode, autoescape, queryset improvements).  Unless you have pre-existing code that you don't want to adjust for backwards-incompatible changes since 0.96, I see no reason to stick with an 0.96.x release.

If you really need to use an 0.96 release, pull just the current setup.py from SVN. You can download it from here: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/setup.py (there are download links at the bottom of the page) and use it instead of the one that comes with 0.96.

Thanks for the reply Karen.

I think I'll upgrade to an SVN checkout of Django, as you advised.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

Please post the code at dpaste.com, and paste the URL in the mail :-)

As Kenneth suggested, I think it looks like an indentation error, but it's hard to detect or confirm while the mail is displayed with a non-monospaced font.

Help!

The indentions of my code in my editor are ok
I hope the code will not be distorted here again

I just removed the underscore in max_length
And it worked fine maybe because of my Django version

Thanks anyway
