MArkDown must be pre-installed?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

If yes, maybe you want to state it in the how-to page too!

I couldn't run the forum with  out installing markdown first, and I got it here 
 (never used it 
before): http://www.freewisdom.org/projects/python-markdown/Installation

Although on the same site I read that markdown comes with django... in that 
case you might 
wanna change these lines:

try:
    from markdown import markdown
except ImportError:
    class MarkdownNotFound(Exception):
        def __str__(self):
            return "Markdown is not installed!"
    raise MarkdownNotFound

thanks!

Hi Michele.
Those lines should not be removed because for example, on the server that I'm 
using
now for my clients (Webfaction) doesn't have Markdown installed, and it has a 
Django
installation in it.

I agree with you that it should be included in the How-To.

There is a line in the README.txt noting that python-markdown is required.
