 === Linking Django to PyISAPIe ===
-Next, you must follow the readme in the PyISAPIe examples\django folder (it explains where to copy two files - one goes into the Django install (One goes into python24\lib\site-packages\django-xyz-123.egg\core\handlers\). Then edit the isapi.py file you just copied to lib\site-packages\Http\. See where it says you should change a line? If applicable, edit it for your django.settings.module settings.
+Next, you must follow the readme.txt in the PyISAPIe examples\django folder, basically copy two files into specific folders. Then edit them a bit in order to fit your needs.
+
+ * Put Isapi.py in c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Http folder. According to the example given above, you'll make the following changes to it:
+
+{{{
+# Add these two lines, and python will import DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE with no problem
+import sys
+sys.path.append(r'E:\test')
+
+# Indicate the settings module of your project
+os.environ["DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE"] = "proj.settings"
+}}}
+
+ * Put pyisapie.py in c:\python24\lib\site-packages\Django-xyz-123.egg\django\core\handlers folder. But there's a bug in PyISAPIe v1.0.3 that prevent it from working (hopefully they'll fix it in the next release). What you have to do is to add a single line of code to the pyisapie.py file you just copied:
+
+{{{
+# ...some stuff ahead
+
+class PyISAPIeRequest(http.HttpRequest):
+    def __init__(This):
+        # ADD THIS LINE!
+        This.method = Env.REQUEST_METHOD
+
+        # ...and don't need to change the rest
+
+# some stuff behind...
+}}}
