mac ox 8.2, eclipse juno, python 2.7, django 1.4.1, pydev 2.7.1.2012100913
I’m relative new with python/django and I’m trying to get it to work with pydev in a virtualenvironment. I set up the virtualenvironment installed django and successfully created and started a django project. After that I decided that I want to use my favorite editor eclipse.
I created a new pydev/django project, configured and selected a new interpreter (from virtualenv) and used that, I also included the virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django in the interpreter libraries. However after going the next dialog, I got an error message “Django not found”
I went over the documentation but I haven’t found any solution yet.
I was also wondering whether the workenvironment (or the actual code) needs to live in a subdirectory of the virtualenv directory) And whether the virtualenv must be activated (I suppose so), tried all these options but no luck yet.
As far as I’m aware you don’t need the django installation (i.e., virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django) in your interpreter libraries. Having the site-packages in there (i.e., virtualenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages) should suffice for your interpreter to find any django.* package.
