Re: Can't start new project

[Sandra]

I have the same problem Jani had and I tried this but it is not
working for me. The window still appears when i run "django-admin.py
startproject ". The window is the django-admin file and the text
it contents is:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from django.core import management
if __name__ == "__main__":
management.execute_from_command_line()

Thanks.

Re: Can't start new project

[Jani Tiainen]

One more advice so you don't get caught with the problems:

(Well I suggest that you start using virtualenvs as well, they really rock)

After installing TCC/LE create one batch file (I use tcstart.btm) with 
the following contents:


@echo off
rem Set python binding to handle virtualenvironments
set .py;.pyc=python.exe


Note, if you're not using virtual environments or not have your python 
in the path use full absolute path instead of just "python.exe".


Create a shortcut on your desktop (or anywhere you like).

Open properties of the shortcut and set "target" to something like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\JPSoft\TCCLE12\tcc.exe" "c:\mysettings\tcstart.btm"

And of course, "start in" is good to place where ever you have your 
projects, removes need for extra cd.


This should get you up and running smoothly and should get around the 
problem of windows peculiarities in python invocation.

Re: Can't start new project

[Jani Tiainen]

Sounds very goofy. django-admin.py just creates files, doesn't open any
editors so there is somthing really fishy going on in your machine...

Re: Can't start new project

[Brandy]

What I mean is, I can create 2 or 3 new projects without problems. I play 
with them and create files, etc. Then, for whatever reason, when I run 
django-admin.py startproject  again, an editor widow opens 
(emacs in my case, since that is what I was using), and django doesn't 
create any files. All I can do is edit the projects I already have created.

Re: Can't start new project

[Jani Tiainen]

I really suggest you to use virtualenv, it makes your life easier in the
long run. Also I use a TCC/LE instead of powershell / cmd prompt to mimic
more unix like environment.

Though you mentioned " After a while, if I try to start a new project, my
editor opens and no files or directories are created. "  what you exactly
mean by that?

I feel that I should write short article how to make development in win7
slightly less painful...

Can't start new project

After first installing Django, I am able to use "django-admin.py

start a new project, my editor opens and no files or directories are 
created. After doing LOTS of research, it turns out this is a rather common 
problem/bug. I have tried what feels like everything. I have edited the 
PATH, checked that all appropriate registry entries are "python.exe" "%1"

It's not just %, it's %* (notice the asterisk).

Re: I can't start new project

[Andre Terra]

My bet is that you're using Windows.

Open the Registry Editor (hit Winkey+R, "regedit" (no quotes), hit enter)

---

Go to *HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command*
and check that it looks somewhat like '"PYDIR\\python.exe" "%1" %*'

If you're missing the final * %**, it won't work.

---

A different, one-time solution is to type the full paths in your
command-line:

C:\Python27\python.exe C:\path\to\django-admin.py startproject foobar


Also google for virtualenv and start using it!
