Re: Getting Started

It looks like you have older version of Django installed somewhere.

You definitely should go for virtualenv it saves lot of troubles in the long run.

Hello,

 

I am having trouble getting started using Django 1.4.1 on my Windows 7 machine.  Everything appears to be installed (I'm running Python 2.7 and have been programming in Python for over 10 years; I figure it's time to see what all the fuss is over "the web" :-).

 

Reading through the tutorial on the Django page (the "polls" project), I start a new project using "django-admin.py startproject mysite".  It creates a new directory -- as promised -- but I'm in trouble, already!  My directory structure does not match the tutorial.  I expect:

 

mysite/manage.py

mysite/mysite/__init__.py

mysite/mysite/manage.py

mysite/mysite/settings.py

mysite/mysite/urls.py

mysite/mysite/wgsi.py

 

and I get all of those.  But, I also get

 

mysite/__init__.py

mysite/setings.py

mysite/urls.py

 

giving me __init__.py, settings.py, and urls.py in both the "outter" and "inner" directories.  I'm I in the wrong tutorial?  The initital web server runs and I can edi the models.py file, but when I attempt the "python manage.py sql polls" command the settings file die snot know about "polls" (I added it to the applications).

 

I'm eager to learn Django; can someone please give me a kick in the proper direction?

Hi,
            Extending to  Jani Tiainen--

 Or you have not properly installed Django, It looks like manage.py is missing. In any of the version manage.py comes by default.
Use 7-zip   to unzip the django tarballs on windows machine.
