django-admin.py init problem for postgresql 8.0.3/win32

[JZ]

I try to pas step by step from ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial1/ using PostgreSQL 8.0.3 (Winddows XP Pro SP2, Python 2.4.1, Apache 2.0.54, SVN version of django).

I cannot initialize default django tables:

C:\opt\Python24\Lib\site-packages\myproject>django-admin.py init
Traceback (most recent call last):

From ​discussion in IRC it seems you're using a version of psycopg2. Marking invalid; psycopg1 is all that's supported for now.

To be specific: for PostgreSQL 8.x psycog v1.18 should be used (binary version for win32: ​http://www.stickpeople.com/projects/python/psycopg/) Also eGenix mxBASE should be installed ​http://www.egenix.com/files/python/eGenix-mx-Extensions.html#Download-mxBASE.
