just as suggestions: 1) the /django/bin/.... files are in 3 locations (perhaps because I loaded from respository and from tarball) - the 3 locations are: a) /usr/lib//python2.5/site-packages/ .... b) /usr/lib/python-django/...... (the folder is symlinked but all the files are still underneath) c) /usr/share/python-support/..... if there's a good reason for them to be in all 3 places fine, just is confusing 2) whether ".py" or not to be ".py" doesn't really matter - just an explanation on the tutorial for debian/ubuntu users will help avoid the constant frustration I had trying to get it to run (and to avoid future support msgs on the same issue). thks for the support - I am now exploring Django and seeing if it can convert me from rails. john --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
