19841	"Problem in documentation ""Writing your first Django app, part 1"" with manage.py runserver"	anonymous	nobody	"The documentation at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/ ""Writing your first Django app, part 1"" explains how to start the development server using
{{{python manage.py runserver}}}
However on systems where python3 is the default python interpreter, one gets an error like the following:

{{{
# python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ""manage.py"", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named 'django'
}}}

It works fine if one runs
{{{python2 manage.py runserver}}}

Now to avoid confusion, since it is not always clear on the first sight, what interpreter runs and since the documentation gives no hint about, that you have to run manage.py with python2, it would be better if it told the new user to run the script itself, since the shebang line states the correct interpreter already.
Therefore the documentation could be canged to
{{{
chmod +x manage.py
./manage.py runserver
}}}
and everything should work as expected without python2/3 confusion."	Uncategorized	closed	Documentation	1.4	Normal	needsinfo			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
