Very Easy Question

Hi, This should take 2 seconds for an experience Django
user.
I'm trying to install Django on windows XP. I've installed
python 2.5
and MySQL with MySQLdb as the interface.
However when I try installing django from DOS I get this
error

C:Django-0.96.1>setup.py install
running install
running build
running build_py
error: package directory 'django' does not exist

There is actually a django subdirectory in Django-0.96.1 so
I can't
figure it out.
Please Help!

Looks strange, I have never used "install.py" for
WinXP, see this
tutorial: http://th

There was a bug in setup.py in Django 0.96 that meant it
wouldn't work
on Windows. One solution is to copy setup.py from a
subversion checkout
and use that -- it's just a single self-contained file and
was fixed a
little after 0.96 was released.

Regards,
Malcolm

Thanks Malcom for clarifying that. I suspected there was
some sort of
bug so I installed the subversion instead of the official
release and
I now have everything up and running. Also, I am now using a
Postgre
database and I'm very impressed so far.
Thanks to everone who replied.
