No module named django.core

Question

I'm following the step by step guide here and I hit an error at the "Create Django Project" step when I try the command;

django-admin.py startproject myproject

The error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/django-admin.py", line 2, in from django.core import management ImportError: No module named django.core

Running on Ubuntu Server with Python 2.6.

I'm sure it's a really simple error, and something do with Python paths, but I'm a Linux newbie. Thanks!

What is the output of the python -c command on that page, and what do you get when you ls that directory? — Daniel Roseman

Thanks to Daniel Roseman's comment, I investigated and found my symlink was broken. Just had to recreate that and it worked nicely.
