[Dev-flock] contrib.auth attribute errors

[Lucy Mendel]

this seems to be a path problem, since emulating correct environment
settings seems to make things work.

>>> import sys, os>>> PROJECT_PATH="/var/sites/hm_demo";     >>>
sys.path.insert(0, PROJECT_PATH)>>> os.chdir(PROJECT_PATH)
>>> os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "settings"
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> from django.contrib import auth
>>> dir(auth);
['BACKEND_SESSION_KEY', 'ImproperlyConfigured', 'REDIRECT_FIELD_NAME',
'SESSION_KEY', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__',
'__path__', 'authenticate', 'datetime', 'get_backends', 'get_user',
'load_backend', 'login', 'logout', 'models']
>>> auth.models
<module 'django.contrib.auth.models' from
'/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/models.pyc'>
>>>

i think i'll be able to figure out where we go wrong settings-wise. woot.
