Aha, that is helpful. I think I've partially solved this now.
If I run 'import django' at the command line, then it seems to import fine;
there is no error message, and 'print sys.modules' now lists it.
So I tried specifying the site-packages path at the top of my script and it
removed the ImportError. That makes it seem like my web-server's pythong is
running with different pythonpath settings than my command-line's python. I
think I can probably unravel the mystery from there.
I'm actually attempting to run this all in Google App Engine. Just to keep
things as complicated as possible. So the lines generating the error were
~~
from google.appengine.dist import use_library
use_library('django','1.1')
