Hello,

I just downloaded and type django-admin.py to start a new project and having errors

(devel)ninja devel: django-admin.py startproject hello

But when I just type django-admin.py I have error

Why Django cause this error since I simply use django-admin.py?

I've just tried to reproduce this based on ther rather sparse description you've
given us and I don't seee these problems.

Please expand the decription of your setup, particularly the "I just downloaded"
part. I see you are using a virtualenv.

Hi,

I use OSX Lion, virtualenv version 1.7.2, python 2.7.1. I just created a new virtualenv, downloaded and install Django 1.5 b1.

It worked for me too but I don't understand why it works this way.

I had the same problem: Mac OS X 10.8.2, Python 2.7.3 is installed with MacPorts, just downloaded Django-1.5b1.tar.gz, created virtualenv with command

    virtualenv ~/Documents/workspace/virtualenv/myproject-1.5

activated it:

    source ~/Documents/workspace/virtualenv/myproject-1.5/bin/activate

and then tried to run django-admin.py help. This produced ImportError: Could not import settings blaa blaa blaa.

However, when I unset env variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE with command:

    export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=

django-admin runs without complaints. You can verify if this variable is set by issuing command:

    env | grep DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
