Re: How can I completely remove Django and reinstall it - I've broken something

run pip uninstall 

several times just in case :)

then reinstall django.

take a look at virtualenv. lets you make isolated python environments. makes life a lot easier:

I'm a complete newcomer to Python and the Django framework so please be gentle.

I'm on a Mac 10.8 and MAMP. I was following the tutorial and installed the latest stable version (1.5) of Django using pip thanks to the instructions on this page. For some reason, I decided immediately after this to install instead the development version (1.6dev) by cloning the git repository using these instructions. At this point, everything was OK and running the following code:

>>> import django  >>> print(django.get_version())

printed out version 1.6dev-blahblahblah.

I then tried to create my first project with this command:

django-admin.py startproject mysite

It worked. Here's where I did something stupid. I changed my mind at this point and thought it might be better to stick with the stable development version rather than the bleeding edge version and so I tried to remove the development version. All I did was delete the django folder found after typing this command:

python -c "import sys; sys.path = sys.path[1:]; import django; print(django.__path__)"

I then reran pip and it said everything was installed correctly. When I get the version number from the Python interpreter I get this output:

>>> import django  >>> print(django.get_version())  1.5.1

However, when I try to create a new project I get the following error:

django-admin.py startproject mysite

Traceback (most recent call last):

Sorry for being stupid but how can I fix this??

Thanks
