Description
In the instructions to install Django development version from svn [1] the line of code to create the simlink from django_src/django uses a path that includes python2.3 it should be noted that this should be replaces with the path to the python the users has otherwise django-admin.py would fail with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/django-admin.py", line 2, in ?
from django.core import management
ImportError: No module named django.core
It is trivial to fix the problem but it could take some users by suprise.
This is the line with the problem:
ln -s pwd
/django_src/django /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages
It clearly says just under that line:
(In the above line, change python2.3 to match your current Python version.)
