Going through django tutorial for a second time and was disheartened to get a weird error when trying to log in as admin:
pcw@intranet:~/django_src$ ~/django_admin.py runserver
Validating models...
0 errors found.
Starting server on port 8000 with settings module 'djangotutorial.settings'.
Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ for Django.
Quit the server with CONTROL-C (Unix) or CTRL-BREAK (Windows).

Original exception was:
ugly, huh? Looks like three stack traces, two of which are the same. Where to start. Well I think this line is the clue:
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/templatetags/adminmedia.py'
Looking in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/templatetags/ I see adminmedia.pyc but no adminmedia.py. I think what has happened is that updating django by doing
svn update
does not clear out the python .pyc files that are generated automaticaly by python. The django autoreload code is seeing the .pyc files and looking for the corresponding .py files. I deleted the .pyc files and life went on.
