Installing Django 1.0.2...

[mic]

I am a first time python/django user....

running "python setup.py install" gives me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 69, in <module>
version = __import__('django').get_version()
File "C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\__init__.py", line 13, in
get_version
from django.utils.version import get_svn_revision
ImportError: No module named utils.version

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

Running "python setup.py install" from django-1.0.2-final directory

gives me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas on what I am missing?

Thanks

That's odd. Do you have the files:
 
C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\utils\__init__.py

C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\utils\version.py

If not, something has gone wrong with unpacking the 1.0.2 tarfile because those files are in it. 

If you do have those files, what version of Python are you using?

Python cannot find django/utils/version.py. Usually everything needed
for
to run django (which is everything in the 'django' folder) is put
under the folder 'site-packages'
in your pythin installation. AFAIK simply copying C:\Django-1.0.2-final
\django to site-packages\django
should work.

The command that is failing here is "python setup.py install".  It should not be necessary to copy anything to site-packages prior to running the install command.

Karen, thanks for your comments, you are right.
However, it turns out that the file "...\Django-1.0.2-final\django
\utils\__init__.py" has size 0, and it seems when using winzip ( I
just realized why 7-zip may have been required for unzipping), the 0
size file is *not* written out. In fact "viewing" the file causes an
error (at least on my version winzip 7.0 SR-1). The simple work around
is to create an empty file named __init__.py in "...\Django-1.0.2-final
\django\utils".

Now the command "setup.py install" works just fine.

Be aware there are many more 0-byte __init__.py files in the django tarball.  Any tool that doesn't correctly extract them is probably not something you want to be using.  These files are common in any Python-based project.

hi Karen,

>> That's odd. Do you have the files:

>> C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\utils\__init__.py
>> C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\utils\version.py

I have the following structure...

C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\__init__.py

C:\Django-1.0.2-final\django\utils\version.py

Can't figure out why this is not working
