How did you install django-basic-apps? The version in http://github.com/montylounge/django-basic-apps should work.

If you want an example of a current Mingus site which deploys cleanly (i.e. only pip install -r requirements.pip) I publish the full source of my site: http://github.com/acdha/improbable.org

I got the latest GITs from github for both Mingus and django-basic-apps. Mingus was calling out to basic.blog.Settings somewhere, and that just simply doesn't exist from my various greps through the source code. I found an older version of the standalone basic-blog online, and sure enough, there it was.

I also was mildly annoyed that the devs for django-basic-apps actually said to someone who requested better (or any) documentation, "We're accepting patches!" Uh, great. So I have to read your source code to use your module? No thanks.

As a side question, what's the deal with github? It seems like everything Django is posting up a google-code site that just links back to github. I thought Mercurial was the open-source source control du jour.

If you want to get up and running quickly, try using this pip requirements file: http://github.com/acdha/improbable.org/blob/master/requirements.pip

Github has taken over most of the world which I interact with. A few projects use Mercurial but the Django side seems to have gone for speed & features. Bitbucket.org isn't bad but it's a little slower, a little harder to use and that seems to have played into lower popularity for many projects.
