Hi Daniel,

Are you using Django (1.6) ?

We have a requirements.txt file which lists the python modules we use in 
poky/bitbake/requirements.txt

Our recommened setup is to use virtualenv, activate it and then install 
the dependencies using `pip install -r poky/bitbake/requirements.txt` 
this means that the python modules on the distro do not conflict with 
the versions which we currently test on.

e.g.

cd ./poky
virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r ./bitbake/requirements.txt


We also recommend using the fido release of poky (git checkout fido) if 
you aren't already, as Toaster in current poky master is going through a 
lot of changes at the moment and the documentation for toaster has not 
yet been updated.

Thanks,

Michael
