Python 2.4 is too old for Django 1.4. You need to have Python 2.5, 2.6, or
2.7 installed, see:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/install/#install-python

Django installation error

[jggal...@prodigy.net.mx]

Hi,


I hope somebody can help me, I'm triying to install django on Win XP.
I downloaded it from django's official site.

Of course I have already python installed and when I do  "python
setup.py install" python give me the following message:



D:\python_27\Lib\site-packages\Django-1.4>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 69, in ?
version = __import__('django').get_version()
  File "D:\python_27\Lib\site-packages\Django-1.4\django\__init__.py",
line 15
parts = 2 if version[2] == 0 else 3
   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Re: Django installation error: Cannot install Django in Python site-package

[Ed Castano]

You hit the nail on the head.  The command import django executed in
the Python interpreter.  Getting started seems like a giant uphill
battle, but fortunately I am quite determined.  It also helps to have
helpful people like you supporting my learning.

Thanks again!

-Ed

Re: Django installation error: Cannot install Django in Python site-package

[Andre Terra]

Hello, Ed


A few tips to get you going on the right track:

1) If *Python can't find Django*, it's because it's *not on your PYTHONPATH*.
If you have multiple Python installs, it gets even more complex as *>
manage.py* can yield different results from* > python manage.py*, depending
on how your file associations are set up.

2) If you're getting '*access denied*', it's probably because your* not an
admin* or *UAC is blocking you* (*windows 7, vista*). Try installing Python
on *C:\Python27\ *instead (or something similar, depending on the version
you're using).

3) *Never* copy packages to *site-packages directory directly*. Use a
*virtualenv
*instead.

*Start from a fresh state* and try to follow the principles behind
http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2009/05/notes-using-pip-and-virtualenv-django/namely
using
*pip*, *repositories *and *virtualenv*.

And last but not least,

4) *Try developing on linux*. It will make your life about a billion
times *easier
*and *more productive*!

Once you get all that figure out, make sure you set up your own repository
on *github*, *bitbucket*, *gitorious *or wherever else. Version control is
*key* to speedy+organized development cycles.

Django installation error: Cannot install Django in Python site-package

[Ed Castano]

This is the error I get when trying to install Django:

error: could not create 'C:\Program Files\Python\Lib\site-packages
\django': Access is denied

Python 2.7 is installed.
I tried manually copy the django site-packages folder and while the
folder copies ok, django will still not run in python

Any help will be immensely appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed
I also tried manually changing the file permissions by unchecking
"Read only".
