What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. add "from cron import Cron" to your models.py
2. define a class for the job inheriting from Cron.
3. do a "manage.py syncdb" or similar.

What is the expected output?
Expected normal functionality.

What do you see instead?
./manage syncdb --noinput #--verbosity=2

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest from trunk, revision 4.

Please provide any additional information below.
This could be due to lack of knowledge (due to lack of documentation).
Maybe I'm not using this addon they way I should.

Ahh, my guess is you have the Cron app directly on your python path as seems to 
be 
community standard and the code I have in SVN uses my standard which is to have 
all 
apps in an apps directory which is on the python path. So you will need to edit 
the 
imports.

NOTE: I have not updated this app since well before django 1.0 came out. I am 
actually working on a rewrite of the app that should be ready for release by 
the end 
of the week, so you might want to wait till then

It would be good for me if django-cron could be used like a normal app. I don't 
like
messing with paths as it complicates deployment.

Can you give some type of installation guidance?  I cannot get this app to work 
for
the life of me.

Ok I change all it's imports to follow the community standard instead of the 
way I do 
things and updated the main page for how to install the app
