Answer 1

It seems you have both Django 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 installed and you're using the django-admin.py from Django 1.3.1 while having Django 1.3.0 in your default Python path.

Try either of:

1. Using the correct version of django-admin.py corresponding to the Django version in your Python path (the one inside the bin/ directory of your Django 1.3.0 installation).

   You can check where your correct django-admin.py script is by executing this:

   echo "$(dirname $(python -c "import django; print django.__file__"))/bin/django-admin.py"

2. Getting your Python path to correctly point to your Django 1.3.1 installation.
