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.
