How to use django-admin.py with GAE installed on OSX?

Question

I can not understand how to create .po and .mo files to use translation in my GAE project. I found django-admin.py at /Applications/GoogleAppEngineLauncher.app/Contents/Resources/GoogleAppEngine-default.bundle/Contents/Resources/google_appengine/lib/django-1.5/django/bin/django-admin.py , but if I run it as python django-admin.py , then I get

Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                         
  File "django-admin.py", line 2, in <module>                                                                              
    from django.core import management                                                                                     
ImportError: No module named django.core

Ok, the following helped to start working with localization -

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/google_appengine/lib/django-1.5"

brew install gettext
brew link gettext --force

mkdir conf
mkdir conf/locale
python /usr/local/google_appengine/lib/django-1.5/django/bin/django-admin.py makemessages -l ru

(btw, here is good, but old article about django translation usage with GAE; see also this article )
