Question

I am using python 3.3 in a virtualenv in a macosx machine, when I installed django 1.5 alpha release after untarring django 1.5 and running following command

pip install -e Django-1.5a1

it looks like django is installed, when I run
pip freeze

following is the output

Django==1.5a1 
Pygments==1.5
South==0.7.6
bpython==0.11
distribute==0.6.28
django-debug-toolbar==0.9.4
django-extensions==1.0.0
ipython==0.13.1
logilab-astng==0.24.1
logilab-common==0.58.1
pylint==0.26.0

clearly django is installed however import django doesn’t seem to be working when I run the following

import django 

in python shell inside virtualenv, the output is

No module named import django

what can be the problem with this setup

Answer 1

looks like pip does not work for installing this version, I used setup.py and everything seems to be working now.
