ImportError using Django

guile

hi,
i'm running apache 2.2.3 on windows xp and have python 2.5 and mysql 5 installed. i'm having problems installing django. please give me some help.

i created a folder "django" in my c:\python25\lib\site-packages\
then i used svn to stuff it with the latest build (in trunk)
i copied my bin\django-admin.py into the scripts folder of python
i added c:\python25\, c:\python25\scripts\ to my path variable

now, i can create and folder, go inside it through the command prompt and use startproject to create a new project folder with the initial files. but when i call i get the error message
i can't figure out the error. can anybody help? google doesnt give helpful results.

PS: I see something odd. When I am in the python folder, and call "import django" through the interactive interpreter, it works fine. but not in case i run the python interpreter from any other folder. something else might be wrong. perhaps paths or something. am i on the right lead?

Creating a text file with a ".PTH" extension instead of ".TXT" with the path
"django\core\management" as the contents and storing it in the site-packages folder should do the trick.

By the way, thanks very much for posting such a detailed description for your system and error. That makes things much easier on this end.
