Answer 1

Simple:

1. Make sure you have installed akismet (system-wide or virtualenv)
2. Verify by pasting (import akismet) into a python shell
3. CD into the root directory of your project and run (find . -name akismet.py)
4. If you find a file with that name, see if you can rename it
5. Then run (find . -name akismet.pyc -print0 | xargs -0 rm -rf)

Now run your application and you should be good to go.
