Re: How does django-admin work?

[Thomas Lockhart]

Welcome to Django!

Django does not add django-admin to your path. Rather, when Django is installed 
it (sometimes) happens to be installed into a place which is already in your 
path. Otherwise, you need to add it to your path or use a packaging system such 
as anaconda which helps do that for you.

startproject simply copies a set of files to your directories, filling in a few 
details and changing the file names to match what you want to create since you 
give it the name of your new project.

How does django-admin work?

[J Lee]

I'm new to Django, and I've just been dazzled by the magic of Django. My 
main question is how does Django add django-admin to my path automatically 
and how does django-admin startproject create my files?

It may be wy over my head, but I welcome any and all response. I would 
like to learn from this. 

Thank you.
