Django supports Python version 2.3 to 2.6, easily overlooked if you downloaded the default installer for your O.S. which comes with Python 3.1 +.
Installing the correct version i.e. Python 2.5 or 2.6 fixes the problem. In most cases you can leave 3.1 alone as well no need to uninstall. But if you arent gonna use it might as well remove it ;-)
