As has been mentioned, the django /directory/ (or a .pth file) is
what needs to be in one of those locations.

Interesting that is has TWO occurrences of the site-packages
directory...

Django is, on my system, currently installed in site-packages; the
only thing in that "E:\Dabo and Django Support" are the Dabo
directories, and a short cut to "e:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages" so I
can get to it fast for SVN updates.

AH! It wants just the django subdirectory, not the overall directory
with docs, tests, etc.... I had to create a django.pth with the contents
of just the relative path

django

so Python would look /inside/ that directory to find the django /module/
directory -- that is producing the

'e:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\django',

line in the above. Without it I was also getting a module not found
error.
