Question

I’m trying to get Django running on GAE using this tutorial.

When I run python manage.py runserver I get the stacktrace below. I’m new to both django and python so I don’t know what my next steps are (This is Ubuntu Jaunty btw). It seems django isn’t finding the GAE module ipaddr which comes with SDK 1.3.1.

How do I get django to find this module?

  import md5

It happens also with app-engine-patch

The solution is to add $GOOGLE_APP_ENGINE/lib/ipaddr to your pythonpath, as you must have done with other dependencies like antlr3 or yaml.
