Error in Mac OS X installation documentation

Description

This refers to this webpage: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/misc/distributions/#misc-distributions

It lists running either of these two commands to install the Mac OS X version of Django using MacPorts. Currently these don't work:

Python 2.4: sudo port install py-django-devel
Python 2.5: sudo port install py25-django-devel

MacPorts probably changed the package names recently. Here are the available Django packages on MacPorts:

$ port echo *django*
py25-django
py26-django

The commands in the documentation should be changed as follows:

Python 2.4: ...doesn't seem to exist anymore on MacPorts (I was using the Universal Leopard build of MacPorts)...
Python 2.5: sudo port install py25-django
Python 2.6: sudo port install py26-django

I hope that helps! :)

I agree, this page : http://www.macports.org/ports.php?by=name&substr=django shows that only Django 1.02 for Python 2.5/2.6 ports are available.

py-django is still in the package queue, so it should be available eventually. Attached is a small patch that should be a bit more up-to-date compared to the original wording. I've also created a small branch for this available here: http://github.com/zerok/django/commits/tickets/10259

py-django (for python 2.4) is now in the macports tree.

This is no longer in the compiled documentation. It now lives on the wiki at http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Distributions

If you would like to update it and apply your patch there, please feel free. It might also be appropriate to list homebrew instructions as well, if you feel so inclined.
