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):

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