when running graph_models, get "ImportError: cannot import name mark_safe"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to produce a picture. changing to a project directory and running:
./manage.py graph_models -a -g -o my_project_visualized.png

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the png file and i see this error instead about a missing
mark_safe

Traceback (most recent call last):

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

version 0.3. OS: ubuntu linux 8.04 (Hardy)

Please provide any additional information below.

I searched around the django site and found that the mark_safe function is
available django.utils.safestring
I then edited this file 
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/extensions/management/modelviz.py

and changed this line:
from django.utils.encoding import mark_safe
to this: 
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe

And the error went away when i ran the original command and I got my picture :)

thanks for the report.

this was already fixed in svn.
i will add a 'big-fat-warning' on the index page to use svn with django-1.0 for 
the
time being :)
