Hi,

I'm working through the tutorail.  Part 1 was fine, and part 2 shows me the site with the light blue background.  I proceed to make my first app, 'djangotest'.

1. I run django-admin.py and get a project
2. I edit settings.py to select sqlite3, and put in an absolute path to a sqlite db file.  I leave 'America/Chicago' unchanged.  the same error happens if I change it to my timezone in EST.
3. When I run syncdb, I get this error.  I look in the source and it has something to do with 'locale' and a tuple of (None, None).  Please help.

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.

Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
