Hello World, I'm curious about working with the dev-version of Django.
I want to get skilled at using Django, Python 2.7.8, and virtualenv together. I see this page: https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/INSTALL I installed python and then virtualenv: [email protected] ~ $ which python /home/dan/venv1/bin/python [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ /home/dan/venv1/bin/python /home/dan/venv1/bin/python Python 2.7.8 (default, Jul 15 2014, 03:37:39) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-4)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> quit() [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ The above INSTALL page says this: AS AN ALTERNATIVE, you can just copy the entire "django" directory to Python's site-packages directory I did this: [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ cd /home/dan/venv1/lib/python2.7/site-packages [email protected] ~/venv1/lib/python2.7/site-packages $ [email protected] ~/venv1/lib/python2.7/site-packages $ [email protected] ~/venv1/lib/python2.7/site-packages $ git clone https://github.com/django/django.git [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ ls -la ~/venv1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/ total 112 drwxr-xr-x. 9 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 . drwxrwxr-x. 8 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 .. -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 26288 Jul 19 21:41 AUTHORS -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 913 Jul 19 21:41 CONTRIBUTING.rst drwxrwxr-x. 17 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 django drwxrwxr-x. 13 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 docs drwxrwxr-x. 2 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 extras drwxrwxr-x. 8 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:59 .git -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 249 Jul 19 21:41 .gitattributes -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 123 Jul 19 21:41 .gitignore -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 136 Jul 19 21:41 .hgignore -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 611 Jul 19 21:41 INSTALL -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 1552 Jul 19 21:41 LICENSE -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 1639 Jul 19 21:41 MANIFEST.in -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 1782 Jul 19 21:41 README.rst drwxrwxr-x. 2 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 scripts -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 404 Jul 19 21:41 setup.cfg -rw-rw-r--. 1 dan dan 3302 Jul 19 21:41 setup.py drwxrwxr-x. 198 dan dan 12288 Jul 19 21:41 tests drwxrwxr-x. 2 dan dan 4096 Jul 19 21:41 .tx [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ [email protected] ~ $ At this point I have done what the INSTALL page says I can do.

I have some questions: q1: Is this statement true: " AS AN ALTERNATIVE, you can just copy the entire "django" directory to Python's site-packages directory " ?? q2: If import django failed for you how would you debug it? q3: If I import a module and python cannot see it, do I need to be looking at any env variables?
