Hello

i have just installed django 1.7 on Debian jessie via synaptic

when i start a console,

import django is OK
print(django.get_version()) ---> version 1.7.2

Now i try to launch the command "django-admin.py startproject WebSite"
i get the error:


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/django/conf/__init__.py", line 94, in __init__
    mod = importlib.import_module(self.SETTINGS_MODULE)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    % (self.SETTINGS_MODULE, e)
ImportError: Could not import settings 'WebSite.settings' (Is it on sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named 'WebSite'


it seems that the variable SETTINGS_MODULE is not properly initialized.
I don't know what to ????

Thanks for your help

PS: the directory WebSite is empty but created

It looks like you are typing "django-admin.py startproject WebSite" at the python prompt, which is incorrect.  You type it at the shell.  If you get command not found, then instead type "python full/path/to/django-admin.py startproject WebSite".  And in any case, the current directory must be the one under which you want WebSite created.
