ImportError: cannot import name SortedDict

During the "Initial Configuration of Askbot" step from the documentation, I ran into this error when trying to consolidate the static files:

$ python manage.py collectstatic

Traceback (most recent call last):

  from django.utils.datastructures import SortedDict
ImportError: cannot import name SortedDict

I've installed askbot using the pip install method. I'm unfamiliar with Python's package management, so not sure where to start.

If you are newbie then please refer the official Django Documentation for more info. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ After that follow the Askbot Documentation for more info http://askbot.org/doc/index.html

It require some time please be patience to learn some thing new. :)

Is it an expectation to have to know Django in order to install and host Askbot? I believe I followed the Askbot Documentation pretty explicitly, so wondering if it might be out-of-date.

yes you are correct.You must know the Django in-order to successfully install the AskBot on your system..
