Question

Running folllowing command

$python2.6 manage.py runserver

Gives this an ouput:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

I tried many solutions out there but they are of no use.

When I try to install django again it using pip,

$ pip install django

It give following output:

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): django in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages
Cleaning up...

And trying

$ pip freeze

Gives following output,

Django==1.5.4
MySQL-python==1.2.4
...

wsgiref==0.1.2
xattr==0.6.2

are you using a virtualenv? 10.8 comes with Python 2.7 but your prompt seems to imply 2.6? Did you install a different Python? — Fraser Graham, Sep 24 '13 at 20:45
As people have stated, it looks like you are using the wrong version of python. This `python2.7 manage.py runserver` should work assuming you installed 2.7 from source and used `make altinstall` — Ngenator, Sep 24 '13 at 20:51
In response to your update, try taking a look at the answers to this question, they should solve your problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6383310/python-mysqldb-library-not-loaded-libmysqlclient-18-dylib — Ngenator, Sep 26 '13 at 06:13
thanks @Ngenator following command worked: `sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib` — Ganatra, Oct 03 '13 at 10:47
