It has been brought to my attention[1] that running 'npm init django <projectname>' works.
This is due to the existence of a package called create-django on npm ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-django ). This package is 17 days old at time of writing. It starts a Python virtualenv, installs Django, and invokes startproject with an opinionated template. Sometime in the past, a 'django' package was uploaded to npm, then someone from the DSF contacted npm and got it renamed due to the trademark and security risk of developers mixing up commands. ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/django -> https://www.npmjs.com/package/django-express ) I propose we again contact npm and request a rename of create-django and the holding of the name. This would avoid any confusion that the package is "official".
