Django Python Macports
django with Macport should work.  py26-django or py27-django.  It is the python version you are using that causes the problem.
Check to see if you are using the python comes with Mac or python installed via macport.  Try python, python2.6, python2.7 from the terminal.
On my Mac (OSX 10.6.8) the default python version is 2.6.1.  The macport version is 2.6.7.
You can replace the /usr/bin/python with the macport version by using 'ln -s'
I installed Django via Macports. 
I wasted a lot of time on making it work.
It still does not work. 
I would like to COMPLETELY uninstall Django (Macports) and install with the easy install (DJANGO).
I would like to keep Macports and not uninstall it, because I read it SHOULD be useful.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you for your attention.
