Config Django 1.5.1 for aptana studio 3

How do I get Django working in aptana? I have gooled my face off and have tried everything I could find and I still have not luck. I am using a Mac running lion.

I have django installed and in idle I can import django and call a get_version() and it works fine. Then in aptana I think I have done everything right. I have done an auto configure for the python interpreter and then in the libraries I have added the django directory.

\Library\Frameworks\Python.framework\Versions\2.7\lib\python2.7\site-packages\django

When I try to create a new project I get this error:

To get started with Django in PyDev, the pre-requisite is that Django is installed in the Python / Jython / IronPython interpreter you want to use (so, "import django" must properly work – if you're certain that Django is there and PyDev wasn't able to find it during the install process, you must go to the interpreter configuration and reconfigure your interpreter so that PyDev can detect the change you did after adding Django).

It seems that the selected interpreter does not have Django available, so, please install Django, reconfigure the interpreter so that Django is recognized and then come back to this wizard.

An introduction on how to get started with Django in Pydev is available at: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_django.html.

I have gone to the website and its' no help.

what am I doing wrong?

Try adding just \Library\Frameworks\Python.framework\Versions\2.7\lib\python2.7\site-packages to the libraries.

The reasoning being: site-packages contains additional installed packages which are folders that contain modules and other packages. You need to include the root so that the entire django package is accessible (as well as any additional packages).
