UnboundLocalError: local variable 'cron' referenced before assignment

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This error crops up when django_cron.autodiscover() (__init__.py) is executed. 
Specifically on this 
line:

 cronScheduler = cron

Turns out this line is inside the autodiscover() method, and cron is global. 
Simply adding

 global cron

before the line mentioned above solves the problem.

I reworked this and am now just using cronScheduler as the name for this object 
to
avoid all of these namespace problems (and confusion when reading the code)

the latest in svn has these changes but, please note that you will need to 
update
your cron.py files to use the new version

update being:
from django_cron import cron

changes to:
from django_cron import cronScheduler as cron
