deleting auth from django trunk raises error about google-app-engine-django HOT 8 CLOSED

Never mind, my bad. I messed the docs. 

sleytr, I'm not sure what you mean by your comment.. 

I just ran into this issue as well. The tutorial at
http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/appengine_helper_for_django.html says 
"To
reduce the number of files, you can safely remove: ... django/contrib/auth ..." 
yet
appengine_django/__init__.py tries to "from django.contrib.auth import models" 
(line
394), which doesn't work if django/contrib/auth has been removed. 

stevehulet, do not consider the original documentation when you use the django 
helper package. It should work if you use the settings.py file which comes with 
the 
package. 

This is a bug in the article.

It was correct for the initial version of the helper which did not contain code 
to
support Django's authentication functions. 

The article was  not correctly updated to match the latest release of the Django
helper which adds initial support for some of Django's authentication 
functionality.

I will prepare an update for the article that does not tell you to remove the 
auth/
directory.

i do think however that should you not want to use the auth module an error 
should
not be thrown :/ perhaps try to import and catch the exception

r33 implements the try/except around the auth monkey patching.

An update to the article that does not mention removing contrib/auth should 
also go
live on the site in the next few hours.

I had this problem too.  It seems that you have to leave out the project name.

i.e. instead of mysite.myapp.views.getdata you just use myapp.views.getdata

As far as I can tell this goes for all references throughout the project:
settings.py, urls.py, etc.
