Missing manage.py

[Faeez Abd Rahman]

Hi,

I'm using Mac OS X. Thank you in advance

If you are using Django 1.4 check in the application folder of your project below your project folder. It should be in there.

Hi,

Hi,

I'm using Django 1.4, Python 2.7 and nope I did not use virtual env.

[Faeez Abd Rahman]

Hi Buddy,

Nope it's not there, I have tried to create another project, still not there. 

mysite/
    mysite/
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        wsgi.py

I followed the tutorial, so all files created as above, except for manage.py

Hi tonton,

without the manage.py, I can't create any apps.

Could you reinstall django please, and try again.

By reinstall, I mean that you should find and completely remove the
django package from your python-packages, and then install it again.
Just installing django over the top of an existing django package may
not behave correctly.

To clarify, when you run "django-admin.py startproject", what happens
is that django copies a stub directory from the installed version of
django to the name specified by startproject. Therefore, if the files
that 'startproject' copies are not correct, it stands to reason that
the issue is that the stub directory does not have the correct files
in it.

I have no idea how this could have happened, but wiping it away and
reinstalling should ensure that the stub directory has the right files
in it.

Cheers

Hi,

I will try to remove and install django as you suggest, but before that I like to look for that stub directory. Where is the location of that stub directory?

thanks.

I don't know the specifics of your OS or how you installed Django, so
I cannot really answer that.

Python packages are stored in a 'site-packages' folder*. On my OS,
that is '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages'.

In the 'site-packages' folder, there should be a folder called 'django'.

In the 'django' folder, the stub project template is in 'conf/project_template/'

Cheers

Tom

* Or any other folder in your PYTHONPATH

[Faeez Abd Rahman]

I'm using Mac OS X version 10.7.3. I tried installed Django using SVN and download and running the setup.py command, both results in the missing manage.py file.

I manage to find the location of the stub directory 

/project_template

/project_name

_init_.py

_init_.pyc

settings.py

settings.pyc

urls.py

urls.pyc

wsgi.py

wsgi.pyc

so i guess there should be manage.py under the project_template folder then. I try to reinstall Django then and see how it goes.

thanks.

I think so. The usual reason for the problem you are experiencing is a
previous installation of Django on top of which the one you are trying
to use was installed without unintalling the older one first *.

So, the recommended action in such cases is to ensure you start with a
clean slate buy removing any and all traces of the old files causing
trouble.

you can update, instead of reinstalling.

An even better solution is to always work in a virtualenv: that way you can 

easily try out new packages, and not worry about conflicts.
