Description

Documentation has this:

On Unix-like systems, create a symbolic link to the file django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py in a directory on your system path, such as /usr/local/bin. For example:

    ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin

That seems like a typo to me and should be:

    ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py

It's not a bug. 'ln' knows what to do when handed a directory location as the final argument. Please test these sorts of things before reporting them as bugs.
