I'm a complete newcomer to Python and the Django framework so please be gentle.
I'm on a Mac 10.8 and MAMP. I was following the tutorial and installed the latest stable version (1.5) of Django using pip thanks to the instructions on this page<http://osxwebdev.wordpress.com/2012/09/24/install-django-on-os-x-10-8-mountain-lion/>. For some reason, I decided immediately after this to install instead the development version (1.6dev) by cloning the git repository using these instructions<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-development-version>. At this point, everything was OK and running the following code: >>> import django >>> print(django.get_version()) printed out version 1.6dev-blahblahblah. I then tried to create my first project with this command: django-admin.py startproject mysite It worked. Here's where I did something stupid. I changed my mind at this point and thought it might be better to stick with the stable development version rather than the bleeding edge version and so I tried to remove the development version. All I did was delete the django folder found after typing this command: python -c "import sys; sys.path = sys.path[1:]; import django; print(django.__path__)" I then reran pip and it said everything was installed correctly. When I get the version number from the Python interpreter I get this output: >>> import django >>> print(django.get_version()) 1.5.1 However, when I try to create a new project I get the following error: django-admin.py startproject mysite Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/django-admin.py", line 4, in <module> from pkg_resources import require; require('Django==1.6.dev20130425172216') File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 2607, in <module> parse_requirements(__requires__), Environment() File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py", line 565, in resolve raise DistributionNotFound(req) # XXX put more info here pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: Django==1.6.dev20130425172216 Garrys-MacBook-Air-2:~ Garry$ Sorry for being stupid but how can I fix this??
