Problem using django-admin.py in a virtual environment

[DIEGO CENZANO PRADO]

I have install django with 'python setup.py install' in a virtual environment called 'django1.3'

I run it and receive the following error mesage:

(django1.3) C:\Documentos de Diego\Dropbox\Codigo\Django>django-admin.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Environments\django1.3\Scripts\django-admin.py", line 2, in <module>

    from django.core import management

ImportError: No module named django.core

Can anybody help me, please?

When you type 'django-admin.py foo' in a command prompt, windows will use the system wide python install which is what is associated with the .py extension. In order to avoid this, you must call 'python django-admin.py foo'.

If you don't like having to type 'python' before calling a script, you can alter your virtualenv activate script so that window's file association for Python files gets changed when a new environment gets activated. This has the downside of not reverting the association when you close a prompt without properly deactivating (by typing 'deactivate'), but I still like it, so there's a how-to below.

In order to tell the virtualenv to use your virtual python install when calling file.py directly, you need to modify the activate.bat script and add the following line somewhere in the beginning (after @echo off):

FTYPE Python.File="C:\Environments\django1.3\Scripts\python.exe" "%1" %*

Then add a line to revert this association change in deactivate.bat (located in the same folder):

FTYPE Python.File="C:\Python27\python.exe" "%1" %*

I did my best to guess the paths, but you might have to adjust them appropriately.

Hope that helps!
