It would be more helpful if you stated step by step what you did.
I find when I want to ask for help, this is what I do first. I'll walk myself
through each step slowly and examine what is required for the current step,
then if I'm unsure of the requirements go check out what they really mean.
Search Google, the official documents, etc... and repeat for each step.
Usually I'll find the answer before I hit send.
I can say that the django docs are very well written, but (correctly) assumes
more than a passing knowledge in python and your operating system. In this
case, I think you should understand more about how python works when using
external libraries and an understanding of the PYTHONPATH/sys.path, which
also leads into the Environment variables mentioned previously. But this is
just a small guess based on the info provided here.
