Added the trailing slash. Thanks, Phil.

Trey:

You might want to add a trailing slash to this command:

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

As it won't create the symlink properly - it'll link django-admin.py to /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py

Im going crazy here, maybe you can help. I installed django and everything through macports in the first tutorial i found. Later i realized that the version of python it installed was 2.4, i like the idea of being up to date with the latest. I followed your first couple commands and everything seems cool. I notice though that when i type python into the terminal it says "python 2.4.5".

Then when i typed the next command:

python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()"

I get:

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site-packages

Do you know how i can get it back to python 2.5 before moving forward with the rest of the installation tutorial.

Thanks to you or anyone that helps out in advance.

ps. I removed macports.

@Zach - What folder are you in when you are entering the ln -s command?

You need to create that directory and put it on your system path. I refer you to this article.
