cannot import name SimpleCookie on new Django install

[Wayne Collier]

Hello.I am new to Django and I am having some trouble installing it. I
running Python 2.5 and mod_python on Apache with RH linux. I installed
Django-0.95. When I go to my mysite directory and run "python
manage.pyrunserver"command, I get the following result:

[root@mingus mysite]# python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 11, in <module>

from Cookie import SimpleCookie
ImportError: cannot import name SimpleCookie

This also results when I Django-1.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like your python installation is broken. What about when you
fire up a plain python shell and type:

>>> from Cookie import SimpleCookie

Cookie is a bundled module in the standard library for python 2.5 (and 2.4)
