Re: Beginner nead help

Eduan,

This might be a little technical for a beginner, but you'll have to
learn sometime :)

Python looks for modules according to the python path. If your module
isn't available on the path, then you'll get an error like you are
seeing. I believe that manage.py adds the directory it is in to the
python path. However, it is looking inside the mysite folder for a
module called mysite, with a folder inside it called polls. (mysite/
mysite/polls). You either need to add the folder above the manage.py
file to the python path or rename the installed app to just "polls".

You can see your python path from the shell by typing:
import sys
print sys.path

Also, make sure anything that python should be looking at has an
__init__.py file in it. The __init__.py file is what makes a directory
a python module. Without that __init__.py file python will mostly
ignore it.

Hope that helps!
Alex
