Comment:
If Django was installed in:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5
/site-packages
then your Python installation has been broken in some way, or whatever
tool you used to install Django is calculating the location of the site-
packages directory incorrectly.
The correct location for Python 2.5.1 that comes standard which MacOS X
(10.5/Leopard) is:
/Library/Python/2.5/site-packages
For the MacOS X supplied version of Python 2.5.1, the site-packages
directory under the framework directory shouldn't be used and should never
be created. The Python program shouldn't ever look there.
I am still not sure how peoples installations are getting screwed up, but
one reason may be where people had installed version of MacPorts 2.5.1 on
MacOS X 10.4 and then done an upgrade to MacOS 10.5. Alternatively, some
version of setuptools is broken and not doing things correctly.
