I want to Use PostgreSQl With Django . I referred this tutorial to install it and when I run this command 

python manage.py syncdb

I get the following errors

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/postgresql_psycopg2/creation.py", line 1, in <module>
    import psycopg2.extensions
ImportError: No module named psycopg2.extensions

I also Saw this question and executed this

sudo apt-get build-dep python-psycopg2
pip install psycopg2

However I still get the same error after doing this

Ensure all packages being installed are being done so using sudo; otherwise, the installation will likely fail and you may not notice the error message indicating the failure was a result of permission issues.

    I think the universal answer is to walk your way through the [Django tutorial](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/#first-steps) and go from there. – Joseph Paetz Sep 12 '13 at 16:14
  • I find it to be a bit slow and also they dont take an example and explain and there aren't any screenshots, looking for a tutorial like developing a web app something like facebook demo – user2528042 Sep 12 '13 at 17:22
