Can't start new project
Brandy
Jani Tiainen
After first installing Django, I am able to use "django-admin.py startproject <projectname>" with no problem. After a while, if I try to start a new project, my editor opens and no files or directories are created. After doing LOTS of research, it turns out this is a rather common problem/bug. I have tried what feels like everything. I have edited the PATH, checked that all appropriate registry entries are "python.exe" "%1" %* (I even tried %%), I've tried variations of "django-admin startproject" and "python django-admin startproject". The only thing that has worked so far is reinstalling Django. However, I wind up encountering the same problem eventually. Does anyone have a permanent fix not listed here? I am running Python27, Django 1.4, and Windows 7. Thanks in advance.

(Well I suggest that you start using virtualenvs as well, they really rock)
After installing TCC/LE create one batch file (I use tcstart.btm) with
the following contents:
@echo off
rem Set python binding to handle virtualenvironments
set .py;.pyc=python.exe
Note, if you're not using virtual environments or not have your python
in the path use full absolute path instead of just "python.exe".
Create a shortcut on your desktop (or anywhere you like).
Open properties of the shortcut and set "target" to something like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\JPSoft\TCCLE12\tcc.exe" "c:\mysettings\tcstart.btm"
And of course, "start in" is good to place where ever you have your
projects, removes need for extra cd.
This should get you up and running smoothly and should get around the
problem of windows peculiarities in python invocation.

- Well planned is half done and a half done has been sufficient before...
Sandra
working for me. The window still appears when i run "django-admin.py
startproject <name>". The window is the django-admin file and the text
it contents is:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from django.core import management
if __name__ == "__main__":
management.execute_from_command_line()
Thanks.
