I can't start new project

[Varrant]

Hello,

I have installed python 2.7 and Django 1.3.1, but when I type:

"django-admin.py startproject project"

I receive only something like 'help' for that command

How can i fix it?

I already tried reinstalling Python and Django...

What is your Operating System ?

Windows 7 64

My bet is that you're using Windows.

Open the Registry Editor (hit Winkey+R, "regedit" (no quotes), hit enter)

---

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command
and check that it looks somewhat like '"PYDIR\\python.exe" "%1" %*'
 
If you're missing the final %*, it won't work.

---

A different, one-time solution is to type the full paths in your command-line:

C:\Python27\python.exe C:\path\to\django-admin.py startproject foobar

Also google for virtualenv and start using it!


Cheers,

In registry % was missing, but nothing changed.

Thanks for help :)

It's not just %, it's %* (notice the asterisk).

I just tried changing the value back and forth here and it worked as expected.
