I'm trying to install mptt for django. The problem is that it seems I can't create new files in /usr/local/.../python2.7. the reason is: I'm not the owner.
How do I change that? (it's my computer).
Or,is there a better way for installing it?
You need to have root access to install a package. Try using the following:
sudo python setup.py install
