Re: django-admin.py not found

The setup.py just gets opened as a text file.
 
But you can ignore it now, Django got installed once I used this command,
 
python setup.py install
 
instead of
 
setup.py install
 
Thanks for your great support.

What do you mean it gets opened?  Also, I'd recommend doing this in a temp My Documents (Documents in Vista/Windows 7) folder, let the installers build the necessary directory trees (get rid of the previous installs.)

I downloaded as mentioned and when I try this command the file setup.py gets opened.
 
C:\Django\Django-1.3>setup.py install

No.  Here is a more lengthy explanation as to what you need to do:

Where do I type the following commands? Is it in the python shell?
 
tar xzvf Django-1.3.tar.gz
cd Django-1.3
sudo python setup.py install
 
What does tar xzvf mean?

I just followed these steps to install Django, worked like a charm (no special setup or anything.)  I did this just for the fun of it without any production settings (just to try stuff out), did you do something different?

1. Download from the Django website.
2. Unzipped it to C:/Django-1.3 folder

I dont see any file under site packages. I think my Django is not installed within Python.
 
Something is wrong..

Do me a favor and check that you have <your python install>\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py

If you do, try that.  I don't think I have a C:\django-1.3\... directory, could be an issue with how you installed it (I didn't experiment, there was no need).

My django-admin.py file is located in

I tried executing this command but get the following error in my python shell,

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm having a similar issue and managed to get around it (although the solution is not as elegant as I'd like) using this:
python C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py startproject mysite2
