trunk works tag doesn't? ---ImportError: No module named 2.1.2

Question

Very confused. In my workspace, the trunk works fine when I do a:

python ./manage.py runserver 9090

However when I tag it @ 2.1.2 and then check it out clean from the repository to a temporary directory on my desktop.. I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 33, in 
    execute_manager(settings)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 360, in execute_manager
    setup_environ(settings_mod)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 343, in setup_environ
    project_module = import_module(project_name)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 35, in import_module
    __import__(name)
ImportError: No module named 2.1.2

Is there something obvious I am missing?

Django does not like it when the project directory contains periods. Rename it before running the project.
