Django/Python Beginner: Error when executing python manage.py syncdb - psycopg2 not found

There seems to be a problem with your psycopg2 installation – Python does not find it. This is a Python installation problem, not a Django issue.

You can try to load it manually using the Python interpreter and see if it works:

$ python
>>> import psycopg2

If you get an ImportError exception, your installation is erroneous. To get a list of all directories Python looks for modules, use sys.path:

$ python
>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path

You can also add custom directories to Python's module search path by modifying the sys.path variable. Do this somewhere before the respective import statement(s):

import sys
sys.path.append("my-path")

# ...
import psycopg2

If you have pip installed, simply install the missing extension by running:

$ pip install psycopg2
