Re: New user - Trouble starting
Have you tried this in the command window ( assuming python is
installed in c:\python27 ):
c:\python27\python c:\python27\scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite
On windows you might need to run python scripts through python like
shown above. And add c:\python27; c:\python27\scripts; to your path.
The other question, about os.chdir; you'll have to import os before
calling methods defined in it, like so :
c:\python27\python
>>> import os
>>> os.chdir('c:\temp')
Hope this helps :-)
PS! It seems like your new to python as well. I strongly recommend you
dive into python first before getting into django.

New user - Trouble starting
I'm trying to start the tutorial (on Windows by the way) and I can't get anywhere. When I enter "django-admin.py startproject mysite" into either the interpreter or the Python command line I get the same message: Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information. >>> import django >>> django-admin.py startproject mysite ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> I've already made sure "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\bin" is set to my system path settings, and django-admin.py is in bin. What am I doing wrong? Also, I haven't been able to cd. I've tried os.chdir(), but it says 'os' is not defined. In the Python docs it says that's supposed to work on Windows machines, so is that not the right function for what I'm trying to do? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
