The error message says that you have not added "django.contrib.auth"
to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py, as far as I can tell.

However, I have no experience of Django on app engine. App engine uses
a customized version of Django, since App Engine does not support
relational databases. This "django-nonrel" (non relational) may not
behave in a way compatible with the tutorial, I don't know. If you are
just starting with Django, I would stick to a more standard Django
setup.

Tom thank you for helping me on my way in to Django!

I uncomment: 

INSTALLED_APPS = (

    'django.contrib.auth',

and with 

$ python manage.py syncdb 

I still get the eror:

 Error: One or more models did not validate: admin.logentry: 'user' has a  relation with model <class django.contrib.auth.models.User'>, which has either not been installed or is abstract. 

But than I also uncommented:

    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

    'django.contrib.sessions',

    'django.contrib.sites',

    'django.contrib.messages',

    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

And everything started to work.

<However, I have no experience of Django on app engine. App engine uses a customized version of Django, since <App Engine does not support relational databases. This "django-nonrel" (non relational) may not 

No I don't use Django in Appengine I only try to learn from Django for Appengine.
