Comment by sstein...@gmail.com:

Make sure the tagging module is version 3.x or better; earlier versions
have import errors on Django version 1 or greater.

>>>> TODO: write some help on installing blocks system wide.

Blocks needs to be on your system python path to be used globally so run
below to locate the site-packages directory on a shell:

python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print
get_python_lib()"

The result on ubuntu lucid lynx was /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages

cd /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
and then
sudo svn co http://django-blocks.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/python/blocks/
sudo svn co http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tagging/

The last two commands will get blocks and tagging on the pythonpath

=Django version=
I tried to install blocks with my old fedora 9 box with Django-1.0.2
installed. At least the demo was no go.

What version of Django is supported?

Comment by kimus.linuxus:

You need to use django 1.0.2? The latest version of django still supports
Python version 2.4 or higher! What's the error you are getting?

Comment by airtonix:

You need to package this properly with python-distutils so that it contains
a valid setup.py in order for pip users to be able to install it easily.

@airtonix: you already can install django-blocks with pip!
