Have you tried this in the command window ( assuming python is
installed in c:\python27 ):
c:\python27\python c:\python27\scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite
On windows you might need to run python scripts through python like
shown above. And add c:\python27; c:\python27\scripts; to your path.
The other question, about os.chdir; you'll have to import os before
calling methods defined in it, like so :
c:\python27\python
>>> import os
>>> os.chdir('c:\temp')
Hope this helps :-)
PS! It seems like your new to python as well. I strongly recommend you
dive into python first before getting into django.
