Difficult setup on Suse Linux

[Martin Sommer]

I have Python and Django properly installed, but am not getting the
first project to work. When I do this:

python manage.py runserver

... I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 14, in ?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Is this a Django 1.4 installation? I ask that because it looks like
you have Python 2.4,
and Django 1.4 will NOT work with Python 2.4, requires at least Python 2.5.

Its Django 1.3.1, with Python 2.4.1. The Django docs say that this
would work.

There's a chance you have a logging module in your PATH that is shadowing the default package.

Did you create an app or project named logging by any chance?

Ideas:
- From an interactive python shell, import logging and check logging.__file__

In my Ubuntu install, I get:
/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.pyc

- Install virtualenv and create an environment using the --no-site-packages and install nothing but Django. Try running it from there and see what happens. Ideally, you'll want to use virtual environments always.

I'm hoping one of these solutions will help, but I'm really just guessing.

Thanks Andre, logging.__file__ worked as with your setup, but the
issue still remained.

I changed to another VM where I have with Ubunto installed, and
everything works. Must be the Redhat/Suse vs the Debian/Ubuntu
approach. Not something I can spend time on right now.

Thanks for your help!!
