Error message: The Python markdown library isn't installed. - Help needed please.

[john-f]

Hi all

I'm currently moving sites over to one server at my company. The
server will be hosting 2 versions of django (0.91 and 0.95).

Currently all the 0.91 sites on the server are up and running.
However, after I set up my first 0.95 site on the server I'm getting a
"The Python markdown library isn't installed." error message when I go
to the site.

My server setup:
-The server is a gentoo linux box.
-Main webserver is apache2 using fastcgi to run python/django.
-All media is on another server and is served by lighttpd.
-my django install is in /home/python/django_0.95/trunk/django/
-I HAVE included 'django.contrib.markup' in INSTALLED_APPS in the
settings file.
-I HAVE set PYTHONPATH="/home/python/django_0.95/trunk:/var/devel" in
my fastcgi startup script for that site.

I'd be very appreciative for any help. Thanks!

John

do you have the actual markdown module installed? This is separate from
Django.

Hi John

You need to install the python Markdown Module, it doesn't come with django mate or python, it's like an add on.

I think on gentoo linux you can install it using emerge and etc-update.  Not sure though, check your gentoo documentation on installing python modules.

In the future, please direct help requests to the django-users mailing
list; django-developers is for development on Django itself.

Thanks for the quick response and help!

I'll be sure to post in the right group moving forward.
