Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/424

I have been using a salt state to install webvirtmgr to different servers, which has been working as expected. Today I setup a server, however and I got the following error:

[root@qakvm2 webvirtmgr]# ./manage.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 8, in
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/management/init.py", line 68
commands = {name: 'django.core' for name in find_commands(path[0])}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

This happens anytime manage.py is called.
I've rerun the bootstrapper a few times, as well as setup.py, however I am still getting this error. I use python 2.6.6, as I use on other servers. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

Can you try that?

$ python
>>> import django
>>> print django.__file__

You can try new trick with virtualenv:

$ sudo pip uninstall django
$ sudo yum install python-virtualenv
$ cd /var/www/webvirtmgr
$ virtualenv --system-site-packages venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install django==1.5.5
$ ./manage.py
