[Answered ]-Is this a problem with the Django tutorial or a package problem, or is it me?

✅

you see 404 error, because you don’t have the default handler, add to url patterns something like this:

('^$', views.default )

and probably you need to add the web application path to the sys.path variable to be able to ‘see’ your modules:

import sys
sys.path.append(path_to_site)

I’m not sure what your actual question is.

You’ve requested the root page, \, but have only defined a URL for \hello\, so obviously Django can’t find what you’ve requested. If you want your hello view to match against the site root, do this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^$', hello),
)

I don’t understand the question about the from mysite.views import hello. This will work if the parent of mysite is on the Python path.
