To run Python scripts directly, you need to make sure your PATHEXT environment variable has .py in it. Mine is:
C:\> set PATHEXT PATHEXT=.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.py;.pyw;.pyc;.pyo Or, you can use python explicitly: C:\> python django-admin.py startproject mysite --Ned. http://nedbatchelder.com grimmus wrote: > Hi, > > I am trying to run the following in dos > > django-admin.py startproject mysite > > When it press enter, the django-admin.py file opens in notepad and the > script isnt executed ?? > > Any ideas why this is happening ? > > I have the following in my path setting: > > C:\Python26;C:\Python26\Scripts; > > Thanks in advance > > > > -- Ned Batchelder, http://nedbatchelder.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
