Comment:
Rephrasing the issue: Django 1.5 doesn't work on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 out
of the box. I'm surprised that this issue is closed with an `invalid`
resolution. Snow Leopard is a common platform (for developers), after all;
It's not //that// old (sold 2009-2011).
Adding an extra python on Snow Leopard isn't for novices, I think.
Installing a fresh 2.7 from the python.org website will likely give some
developers headaches with PATH's and missing modules. If a novice installs
Python 3 for the reason that he/she wants to work with the latest Django,
he/she will probably be in an even far worse situation (db drivers, apps,
and whatnot that doesn't work yet on 3).
I think that a little guidance would be appreciated.
The current `TypeError` is vague and no indication to the actual problem.
Would it be possible to do an explicit version check and error message for
older Pythons?
