Don;t use django-admin to launch the shell, only use django-admin to create projects¹. Once you have created your project using django-admin.py, use the manage.py script it created inside your project to interact in any with it - creating apps, running syncdb, accessing the project shell. See the docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-py-and-manage-py The reason you want to use manage.py over django-admin,py is that manage.py can usually find your settings automatically - it automatically sets the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE to the correct value. Cheers Tom ¹ Or standalone apps. For apps within the project, you use manage.py startapp, like everything else in the project. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
