Horst & Malcolm Thank you for your suggestions, they helped me determine that the problem is machine specific.

I was going thru the tutorial and made it to the section called "The development server". At that point I had not touched the settings.py. After your message above I opened the settings.py and made sqlite3 the DATABASE_ENGINE. I tested and got essentially the same error initially reported except the last line said something about no module named _sqlite3. On the computer with the problems noted above I had installed django using Macports (I installed Macports specifically for this django install) I uninstalled Macports and removed all the django files I could find, then ran setup.py install "manually" but no luck. I went to another computer with just the default mac os x 10.5.5 installed and was able to install a fully functional version of django in about 10 minutes (manually, instead of using Macports).So, for my purposes, I consider this problem solved. (although if anyone has any ideas that will save me from doing a clean system install on my primary computer just to get django running on it, I'm open to suggestions) thank you for your help james --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
