When installing django from an official release tarball onto Ubuntu 10.04 python 2.6, (python setup.py install) it installs to /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ rather than /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages (as reported by python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()").
Is this expected behaviour? If so, the install instructions and tutorial will need to be updated. How should django best be imported into a running python interpreter in this case? import django returns: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named django I solved the problem by doing python setup.py build then manually copying build/django into /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages, but that is not a very user friendly procedure. Is this an Ubuntu/python 2.6 specific issue? Should the install instructions be updated or is this a bug in the packaging?
