I just installed Django 1.6 on OS X 10.8 with python 2.7 and am having trouble going through the tutorial. After setting creating a server called mysite by running:
django-admin.py startproject mysite
I then cd'ed into mysite and ran
python manage.py runserver
and got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
After looking at the last line:
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
I also ran:
django-admin.py check
and got this output:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting DEFAULT_INDEX_TABLESPACE, but settings are not configured. You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings.
I also tried setting my environment variable in tcsh by typing in:
setenv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE "mysite.settings"
but it still gave me the recursion depth error. Running
django-admin.py check
then gave me this error:
ImportError: Could not import settings 'mysite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named mysite.settings

I am a newbie at django and am really stuck. Can anyone offer some insight?
Check in manage.py
if you have this:
import os
if __name__ == "__main__":
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
And in wsgi.py
this:
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
Also, any python scripts that integrate Django should look like this:
import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
# Uncomment below for Django 1.7 +
#import django
#django.setup()
