-----------------------------------------+------------------------
I followed the instruction in the "Writing your first patch for Django"
page and in order to install the tests requirements I had to install
python-dev, zlib and libmemcached. The page mentions neither of them.

Comment:

The tutorial says:

> If you encounter an error during the installation, your system might be
missing a dependency for one or more of the Python packages. Consult the
failing package’s documentation or search the Web with the error message
that you encounter.

The issue has been raised before and the consensus is that it's not
Django's job to document all the possibilities for various operating
systems.
