Configuring Django

I just installed Django 1.6 on OS X 10.8 with python 2.7 and am having trouble going through the tutorial. After setting creating a server called mysite by running: django-admin.py

Solution 1:

Check in manage.py if you have this:

import os

if__name__== "__main__":
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

And in wsgi.py this:

import osos.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

Also, any python scripts that integrate Django should look like this:

import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
# Uncomment below for Django 1.7 +#import django#django.setup()

Solution 2:

Ok so I finally found the answer. Apparently the error was a result of Python 2.7.2. Once I upgraded to 2.7.6, the problem went away.

Here is a similar thread where I found the answer:

maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp error while executing python manage.py runserver

Don't know why this solution didn't show up in my searches when I was creating this thread...
