Startproject opens django-admin.py

[Guðmundur H. Bjarnason]

And something's fishy. No project directory is created. The command I use is

django-admin.py startproject mysite

Instead, it just opens django-admin.py! Which contains the following:

#!C:\Python27\python.exe
from django.core import management

if __name__ == "__main__":
    management.execute_from_command_line()

I have no idea what's wrong. Please help.

I should note that Python is not installed as default in C:. It is in the user directory under Anaconda.

Hello,

Shebangs are not supported by windows command processor (cmd).

Try:
C:\Python27\python.exe django-admin.py

Thanks for the reply Ilya. The problem was that the old, default Python directory was still the default, so django searched there for django-admin.py. Doing this manually by moving django-admin.py into the desired startproject folder and adding "python" in front of django-admin.py startproject mysite solved the problem. It's just that both django-admin.py and django-admin.pyc need to be in the startproject parent folder.

I forgot - One also needs to delete the path in django-admin.py, since you automatically provide that when you cd into your desired startproject directory.
