Error with django-admin.py

[Tet Yeap]

Hi,

    I was trying to crate a django project using "django-admin.py startproject mysite". The a message showed up in notepad 

"#!C:\WinPython-64bit-3.6.1.0Qt5\python-3.6.1.amd64\python.exe

from django.core import management

if __name__ == "__main__":

    management.execute_from_command_line()

    I am using Django 2.0, Python 3.6. Both programs run on Windows 8.

    Do anyone know what is wrong? Tx.

This means your windows system has python files (.py) associated with notepad not python.

It's okay, but anything you are going to run a python script like django-admin.py or manage.py you need to run pythin first.

>  python django-admin.py startproject myapp

>  python manage.py

If you get an error about python comand not found you will need to fix the path, the easy way might be to re run the python3 installer and make sure add python to the path and associdate .py files to python is checked.

Hi Dylan,

     Thank you for the pointers. As you have suggested, after re-installing Python, I am able to continue my work. I must have screw up the path.
