Maybe there's a way to do this, but the only thing that I use
django-admin.py for is startproject.  I haven't  found any suggestion to
use it for anything else in the documents.  All other operations, like
syncdb, runserver, I do by cd'ing into the project root (directory
containing manage.py) and running "python manage.py runserver 8080", for
example.  The cd part is important, because python adds the current
directory to sys.path (if it's not already there), and it needs to be there
to import settings, among other things.  (Running under WSGI, for example,
you will need to add this directory yourself.)
