Re: Django Documentation 1.7 shows "django-admin.py" whereas it should be "django-admin"

Not technically a bug, although it is a common point of confusion. It depends on how you installed Django. Both perform the same function on their respective systems. There's a note with this link on the first page of the tutorial, although admittedly I believe they should be more explicit with this issue on the tutorial page.

Hi,

I am a newbie to this community and I am not sure how should I submit this bug/error in 1st part of Django Tutorial.

Here's the error:
On page Writing your first Django app, part 1 | Creating a project notice it says django-admin.py startproject mysite whereas it should actually be django-admin startproject mysite

Note: I am not sure if the documentation here: Problems running django-admin relates to this issue (Screenshot below):



I am on a Windows 7 64-bit machine, running Django 1.7.5 with Python 2.7.9 (64-bit). If I run django-admin.py startproject mysite, I get following response:

Usage: django-admin.py subcommand [options] [args]


Options:
 
-v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
                       
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output,
                       
2=verbose output, 3=very verbose output
 
--settings=SETTINGS   The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
                       
"myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided, the
                        DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be
                        used.
  --pythonpath=PYTHONPATH
                        A directory to add to the Python path, e.g.
                        "/home/djangoprojects/myproject".

  --no-color            Don'
t colorize the command output.
 
--version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit


Type '
django-admin.py help <subcommand>' for help on a specific subcommand.


Available subcommands:


[django]
    check
    compilemessages
    createcachetable
    dbshell
    diffsettings
    dumpdata
    flush
    inspectdb
    loaddata

    startproject

Note that only Django core commands are listed as settings are not properly configured (error: Requested setting INSTALLED_AP

configure() before accessing settings.).

However if I run, django-admin startproject mysite, the new mysite directory is created along with all the default files
