No -- but, as the "python ..." line indicates, you need to be at an
OS level command line (or use an IDE that implicitly spawns a subprocess
that is equivalent to that line), not inside a python interpreter.
"runserver" is, to my mind, the "Django" command. "manage.py" is the
a Python script generated by Django which processes management commands
for the Django installation.

The main suggestion I saw (and my apologies if I'm repeating other
information -- I'm a bit behind in the group today and haven't read
ahead) was to install the ActiveState Python build (it appears they've
renamed the non-supported/freeware build to "community edition").
ActivePython for Windows includes the win32 extension libraries (if
one wants to go to native Windows code -- though the now standard ctypes
library permits similar capability if one knows the API), and PythonWin
IDE (as I recall, this started life as an included demo of the win32
extension libraries <G>).
PythonWin isn't the fanciest IDE -- no overarching "project"
management, just multi-window file access; autocomplete won't work for a
module until it has been imported via the interactive window (since some
modules have to be imported for PythonWin itself, those autocomplete
without explicit imports). I believe it supports the Python debugger
(I've not written anything complex enough to need formal debugger --
wolf-fencing* and rerunning works for me). But it doesn't cost
anything... Full Komodo is a $$$ product; I don't know if there is a
stripped down version.
