The command django-admin.py startproject mysite doesn't work.

Also for more information, here is a screenshot of what happens: http://i.imgur.com/xqsy4ZY.png.

I also tried this using full path to django: C:\Python27\Scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite.

Neither of these commands create anything.

FIXED: Here is the answer: django-admin.py is not working

himmip try django-admin.py startproject mysite in a directory where you want your project.

Plus, make sure you have Django installed by calling python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())" from the command line. It should print out django's version if its correctly installed.

Just like in the docs.

Give the full path along with ahead python as $ python c:\Python27\Scripts\django-admin.py startproject project_name. It will work.
