Issue creating project with mezzanine - shared hosting

Question

I'm trying to use Mezzanine cms in a shared hosting at 1and1. I installed a recent python version 3.3.2.

setup works well but when i try to create a project I got the following error message:

~/Mezzanine-1.4.16 > mezzanine-project blog
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any thoughts on how to fix this ? thank you.

Current version of Mezzanine (1.4.16) doesn’t support Python 3. You have to use Python 2.6 / 2.7 (Source: dependencies section in official docs).
