Error: No module named admindjango.contrib.auth

[Harry]

Trying to follow Part 2 of the Django documentation

>>> python manage.py syncdb throws this when configuring admin
'Error: No module named admindjango.contrib.auth'
More errors if I try to include admin docs.

1) Need to know where I can see which modules are installed
2) Why this module did not install
3) How to fix it.

Mac OS X 10.6.4
django-admin.py --version = 1.1 SVN-13865
python --version = Python 2.6.1

4) Should I upgrade Python, and what will this break?

Thanks
Harry

If you have "pip" you can call "pip freeze" to see all installed
python packages. This doesn't show modules inside that packages, but
it's a good overwiew of what you have.

Because a module with that name doesn't exists.

Check your INSTALLED_APPS settings. It should look something like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin', <--- notice the coma
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'polls'
)

If you forget the comma Python will join the two literal strings.

('django.contrib.admin'
'django.contrib.auth',)

Is the same for Python as:

('django.contrib.admindjango.contrib.auth',)

And that's not a valid application. At least that's my best guess
about your problem.
