It sounds like you do not have django installed. You should check the directory produced by this command:

python -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" 

To see if you have the django packages in there.

If there's no django folder inside of site-packages, then you do not have django installed (at least for that version of python).

It is possible you have more than one version of python installed and django is inside of another version. You can find out all the versions of python if you type python and then press TAB. Here are all the different python's I have.

$python python            python2-config    python2.6         python2.7-config  pythonw2.5 python-config     python2.5         python2.6-config  pythonw           pythonw2.6 python2           python2.5-config  python2.7         pythonw2          pythonw2.7 

You can do the above command for each version of python and look inside the site-packages directory of each to see if any of them have django installed. For example:

python2.5 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" python2.6 -c "from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib; print get_python_lib()" 

If you happen to find django inside of say python2.6, try your original command with

python2.6 manage.py ...
