Can you point me to or help me understand what in-package data files are 
and why this affects it?

OK.  I'll start experimenting with the --packages option.

I feel like I've started to make significant progress.  I've got a lot 
of the Django stack up and running but it looks like it is failing at 
getting some core parts of the database pieces loaded.  I've been 
posting my progress on the Django mailing list here:

Thanks for the response.
