Three options: Either you run python C:\path\to\django-admin.py startproject mysite from whatever directory you want, to run an arbitrary Python script anywhere on your machine. Or, with other scripts, from the directory where the Python script is, you can generally do python some-script.py C:\path\to\some\target depending how the script itself is set up -- the django-admin.py doesn't let you do this, it wants only to create a project in the current directory. Or (what you're encouraged to do in this case) the django-admin.py script is set up somewhere in your lookup PATH. The lookup PATH is the list of directories in which commands live, and so when asked to run a particular command the shell looks in those directories and if it finds the command you wanted runs it, no matter where you are. To get the django-admin.py script in the PATH so you can run it from anywhere without a full path either you install the script to a directory which is already in your PATH (I think on Windows C:\windows\system32 is one such directory) or the Django directory containing the script is added to your PATH. There might have been instructions to do that when you installed Django, or perhaps it was done as part of an installation script. The fact that this path exists is the reason you can run commands like "python" itself from anywhere, if it's set up properly. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Forgive my ignorance, but if that's the way it's supposed to work (script must be in current dir) then how would Python know to run django-admin.py if I'm NOT in the same directory it is (Python27\Scripts\)???

Okay, in that case the arguments should also be getting to the django-admin script. To give you the help message it must not be able to read the "startproject" argument, since the name of the project shouldn't matter to it. Perhaps something bad is happening to it, possibly due to the registry stuff you folks were talking about earlier, or some other Windows sorcery. Change args.py a little to this: import sys print "%d arguments: %s" % (len(sys.argv), sys.argv) And now run it with the arguments you were trying to give to django-admin: python args.py startproject mysite When I run that I get 3 arguments: ['args.py', 'startproject', 'mysite'] Paste your own output. --bart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

So, obviously something is wrong. No, that's not wrong, that's how it should be. The python interpreter is in your path, but you're telling the interpreter which file to run. If you tell it to run a file args.py and there is no such file in the current directory, it's correct to give you an error message.

I guess first up just run python and see if you get the interactive Python shell. Or maybe you need python.exe since you're on Windows? Anyway, if you get the shell, the python executable is in your path and works to at least some extent. If you don't get the shell, and you get "command not found" or something (I don't have a Windows box so I don't know exactly what it would look like) you may need to use the full path to the executable, as people before have suggested. So those two lines ("import..." and "print...") make a very simple Python script which just outputs the number of arguments it thinks it was given. Invoke the script with Python just as you're meant to do for the Django script. On linux I just run python args.py and it tells me "1 arguments". If I run python args.py something it tells me "2 arguments" and so on. What behaviour do you get? The point of this is that if this python script can see the arguments then I can see absolutely no reason why your django-admin.py script would not see them, and I would be stumped. --bart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

The directory I created is called "mysite" & it's path is C: \mysite\.I started a command prompt from "mysite" then typed "python django-admin.py startproject mysite" in the command prompt (didn't work).

The safest, OS-independent and interpreted language-independent way to get a script like django-admin to run is to simple use: path\to\the\interpreter\binary path\to\the\script In your case it could be: C:\python27\python C:\path\to\django-admin startproject foo or, if you have C:\python27 in the PATH, simply: python C:\path\to\django-admin startproject foo This is particularly true and useful in platforms like Windows where there is no robust/official way to associate a scripting language source code file to signal the OS which interpreter binary should process and execute it (like the #!/path/to/python line in Unix). There are a handful of third party solution and tricks (like the ones you tried) but from the number of times this topic appears in mailing lists IMHO it is evident they only muddle the landscape and/or break things.

django-admin.py startproject will NOT work.
Hi, I'm using WinXP, Python27, django 1.3.1. When I try django-admin.py startproject mysite, I get a "Usage django- admin.py subcommand [options] [args]" listing of commands instead of starting the project in mysite folder. . .I've tried every workaround I've found on Google & on this site. I've put C:\Python27\Lib\site- packages\django\bin in my Env Variable Path, I've changed the registry setting HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\python.exe\shell\open\command to PYDIR\\python.exe" "%1" %*. I've typed in the full path in the command line (python django-admin.py startproject mysite) & nothing works. And yes, I set it up using python setup.py install. Any suggestions or other work arounds??? I'm at my wits end!!! Thanks for any help. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
