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\)??? In other words, the tutorial says to create a
mysite dir somewhere, NOT in the Python27\Scripts dir. So how would it
work then if Python27\Scripts\ isn't my current working dir (ie:
mysite isn't in the Scripts dir)??
