Django and 64-bit Linux

Daniel just got a new box with a 64-bit processor, so he is moving his Django project over to it. But he ran into some problems:

It appears that the Python packaging tool is confused by the fact that 64 bit SUSE puts Python stuff under /usr/lib64 instead of /usr/lib and then assumes that it was installed to a non-standard location which isn’t on any Python path.

Luckily he was able to find a solution and apparently is up and running.

Personally, I blame Suse.
