Johnny I don't know what kind of Operating System you are using, but here is what I do on my Mac and Linux machines...
I create a small script "checkout.sh" that contains the following: #!/bin/sh svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/ Make it executable and run it. You will need to have the subversion client installed on your computer. The great thing is that anytime you wish to update your build, you just rerun the command. You can put this anywhere you like. I usually put it in: $HOME/projects/python OK, for the next part, and you only have to do this one time (unless you upgrade your Python installation): Go to the site-packages directory in your Python installation and create a symbolic link to the django directory that you checked out. Note that when you run that checkout.sh script the directory that you will see in the same directory as the checkout script is called "trunk". So you want a link to the "django" directory that is inside the trunk directory. If you installed your original django directly in the site-packages folder, then remove it first, before you create the symbolic link. If you are not sure where the site-packages folder is located on your computer, just fire up python and do this: import sys for p in sys.path: if "site-packages" in p: print p On my make that directory is located here: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages On my Linux box it is located here: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages Now anytime you run python you can import django with no problems. Anytime you want to bring your copy of django up to the latest trunk, just rerun the checkout.sh command. The next time you run python it will see that updated copy. --gordon --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
