Newbie, trying [read: failing] to set up Django

Hello all,

I've been trying to set up Django for quite some time now. I'm on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. As to my level of expertise, let's just say I'm pretty new to...computers. I guess I figured I'd just stumble around until it worked. How hard could it be right? Wrong. It seems like you all don't mind helping out newbies though, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

I'm running into problems with synchronizing Django with my database. I installed MySQL and MySQLdb. I created a database and edited the settings.py file according to instructions in the tutorial. However, I couldn't get it to work with the python manage.py syncdb command due to an "architecture" error. Keep in mind that I had, at this point, spent a really long time trying to set these babies up, and this is what finally stumped me.

So, I told MySQL and MySQLdb that I was taking my ball home if that's how they wanted to play. I downloaded and installed Homebrew, Macports, and postgreSQL (through Homebrew) with minimal fumbling. There was one error with my PATH but I fixed it in my .bash_profile. As per the advice of the internet and Homebrew's brew doctor, I amended "PATH so that /usr/local/bin occurs before /usr/bin." This allowed me to start up psql and create a database - at least it seemed like it worked, there was no satisfying little message about its dimensions like in MySQL.

Anyhoo, now when I do python manage.py runserver or python manage.py syncdb it tells me lots of stuff and "ImportError: No module named psycopg2.extensions." What does this mean, and how do I fix it? I am totally at a loss.

I'm sorry if the way I posed the question is long/confusing, but I wasn't really sure what information would be important. I can post the whole output from the terminal if it's helpful. It's really long though, and I had a hunch the last part is the important part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
