robin_percy, Many thanks for pointing out the defect! It was just like you had said, the example worked fine with Django 0.96! However, an interesting fact I noticed was that Django 0.96's installer wouldn't install on my Windows box. It was throwing up and error "couldn't find directory \django" and stuff like that! So I decided to hack around a bit and found that the problem was in the "setup.py" file where it tries to extract the "root directory" and then navigate to the child directories from thence. Apparently it was using "/" as the root directory even though mine was a Windows box. So when I manually changed the root directory to "c: \<whatever path!>", it worked fine. Am planning to raise a new ticket on this one... thanks again for the help!
