Hi Michael, I read the comment you mentioned and tried to do the same thing but there's no "module_directory" in my config/environment.py.
The comment is also suggesting to install the latest Pylons 0.9.7 so I tried but it again failed with the following error NameError: name 'egg_plugins' is not defined at line 25 column 22 in file It must be hard to have a documentation for fast-evolving system like Pylons... Let me know if there are any other things I could try to solve this..
