Question

Guys!! I’m really enthusiastic in learning django and learnt a bit on Django-1.2 but then I installed 1.3 version which is ok till I run the server using the command “python manage.py runserver”. It’s giving a huge error. I can’t figure out a way to solve this. And error is given as :

Traceback (most recent call last):

To avoid problems like that in the future, use virtualenv
