 In the detailed installation instructions
 docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/ it says

   If you plan to use Django's manage.py syncdb command to automatically
 create
   database tables for your models, you'll need to ensure that Django has
   permission to create and alter tables in the database you're using; if
 you
   plan to manually create the tables, you can simply grant Django SELECT,
   INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE permissions. On some databases, Django will
 need
   ALTER TABLE privileges during syncdb but won't issue ALTER TABLE
 statements
   on a table once syncdb has created it.

 And, this paragraph comes before the steps to install the Django
 framework. Because of this, I asked a question on stackoverflow about how
 I would go about setting up PostgreSQL to give Django the right
 permissions. I had already installed PostgreSQL, got the server running,
 created a role that had the necessary permissions, and went through a
 tutorial in the PostgreSQL manual. But, although I knew how to create
 roles in general, I didn't know what specific role Django might expect to
 have been created for it or how to tell Django to use PostgreSQL. The
 paragraph I quoted above made it seem to me that this needed to be done
 before I installed the Django framework. I was thinking otherwise the
 installation wouldn't be done properly and it wouldn't use PostgreSQL or
 wouldn't have the right permissions.

 The way to fix this so others don't have this confusion is to add a little
 more to that paragraph explaining:

 1) Install the Django framework first.
 2) For each Django project, make sure there's a user/role defined in the
 database that has the permissions Django would need.
 3) Specify the user/role in the Django's settings.py. More on that is in
 Django tutorial
