3448	python help() parsing problem for django.core.mail	Michael VanLandingham <m.vanland@…>	Jacob	"
== Error when accessing django.core.mail through python help() ==

{{{
EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined 
}}}

In python help(), if I do:
{{{
help> django.core.mail
}}}
I get:

{{{
problem in django.core.mail - EnvironmentError: Environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.
}}}

Other things in the django.core package display their docstrings and such.. It seems like something basic, but I didn't see anything obvious.

I'm on OS X 10.4.8, python 2.4.4,  installed the source from the svn repository, e.g. 'python setup.py install'
