It still doesn't make sense that it wasn't working before. Did you try
the modified args.py script I sent you?

If Python itself and the django-admin.py script were being found
properly (and they were when you were getting the help message), yes,
you should be able to do that from any directory.

You should probably move it. It should work anywhere, again, as long
as it can find Python properly.

Three options:

Either you run
python C:\path\to\django-admin.py startproject mysite
from whatever directory you want, to run an arbitrary Python script
anywhere on your machine.

Or, with other scripts, from the directory where the Python script is,
you can generally do
python some-script.py C:\path\to\some\target
depending how the script itself is set up -- the django-admin.py
doesn't let you do this, it wants only to create a project in the
current directory.

Or (what you're encouraged to do in this case) the django-admin.py
script is set up somewhere in your lookup PATH. The lookup PATH is the
list of directories in which commands live, and so when asked to run a
particular command the shell looks in those directories and if it
finds the command you wanted runs it, no matter where you are. To get
the django-admin.py script in the PATH so you can run it from anywhere
without a full path either you install the script to a directory which
is already in your PATH (I think on Windows C:\windows\system32 is one
such directory) or the Django directory containing the script is added
to your PATH.

There might have been instructions to do that when you installed
Django, or perhaps it was done as part of an installation script.

The fact that this path exists is the reason you can run commands like
"python" itself from anywhere, if it's set up properly.

Ok I've had a breakthrough (I guess,lol). I started a command prompt
from my Python Scripts folder (C:\Python27\Scripts\), typed in "Python
django-admin.py startproject mysite", and it worked!! I now have the
"mysite" folder with appropriate subfolders (__init__.py,
manage.py,settings.py,urls.py).

Is this working correctly?? Should I have to create Projects in the
Python Scripts Folder?? Should it work from another (any misc dir)
dir??

And, can I leave it in the Scripts Folder or should I move it?? If I
do move it, will that cause other problems??

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)??

Okay, in that case the arguments should also be getting to the
django-admin script. To give you the help message it must not be able
to read the "startproject" argument, since the name of the project
shouldn't matter to it. Perhaps something bad is happening to it,
possibly due to the registry stuff you folks were talking about
earlier, or some other Windows sorcery.

Change args.py a little to this:

import sys
print "%d arguments: %s" % (len(sys.argv), sys.argv)

And now run it with the arguments you were trying to give to
django-admin:
python args.py startproject mysite

When I run that I get
3 arguments: ['args.py', 'startproject', 'mysite']

Paste your own output.

No, that's not wrong, that's how it should be. The python interpreter
is in your path, but you're telling the interpreter which file to run.
If you tell it to run a file args.py and there is no such file in the
current directory, it's correct to give you an error message.

Does this little script tell you correctly the number of arguments you
pass to it?

Ok, I CAN start the Python Interpreter from the command line by just
typing "python" then "enter".

I saved the file "args.py" in the Python Scripts folder. When I try to
run it from command prompt, I get the message "python: can't open
file 'args.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory".

The only way I CAN get it to open, is to change (cd into) into the
python scripts folder (where I saved args.py) then run it (type
"python args.py" in command prompt). So, obviously something is wrong.

The command line is the dream, you'll come to love it. Well, maybe not
the Windows one.

I guess first up just run
python
and see if you get the interactive Python shell. Or maybe you need
python.exe
since you're on Windows? Anyway, if you get the shell, the python
executable is in your path and works to at least some extent. If you
don't get the shell, and you get "command not found" or something (I
don't have a Windows box so I don't know exactly what it would look
like) you may need to use the full path to the executable, as people
before have suggested.

So those two lines ("import..." and "print...") make a very simple
Python script which just outputs the number of arguments it thinks it
was given.

Invoke the script with Python just as you're meant to do for the
Django script. On linux I just run
python args.py
and it tells me "1 arguments". If I run
python args.py something
it tells me "2 arguments" and so on.

What behaviour do you get?

The point of this is that if this python script can see the arguments
then I can see absolutely no reason why your django-admin.py script
would not see them, and I would be stumped.

Thanks Ramiro. . .I don't think you saw my other reply to your
original post about trying this. . .

I'll ask again. I'm not sure exactly what path to use, when you say
\path\to. The directory I created is called "mysite" & it's path is C:
\mysite\.I started a command prompt from "mysite" then typed "python
django-admin.py startproject mysite" in the command prompt (didn't
work).

Forgive my ignorance, is this what you wanted me to try??

As far as other programs, I'm not sure. I'm not a programmer (just
learned Python over the last few months) so I haven't tried any other
programs yet.

Ok, so save the paragraph in a file, then run the commands from the
command line EXACTLY as you have them? In other words, from command
line, type in Python args.py, then python args.py arg1, and python
args.py arg 2??

Forgive my ignorance, working from the command line with this stuff is
new to me. And I've never understood exactly what command line args
are. . .But I'm learning.

And THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP!!!

USStateField default value

I wanted to have a select box for the state with California as the
default. I first tried in my model the following:

state = USStateField(blank=True, default='CA')

This gave me the error "TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected
keyword argument 'default'".

But the following works (i.e., California is the default and I have a
nice select box):

state = models.CharField(blank=True, max_length=2,
choices=STATE_CHOICES, default='CA')

Could this be a bug? I am using 1.3.

Try both, I think both of them should work.

BUT, that isn't the important part. The important part is abut you should
make sure you execute it with the Python interpreter.

Forget about trying to simple invoke django-admin (or django-admin.py)
as a standalone program.

Good luck.

Put this next paragraph in a file and run it with different numbers of

"syncdb --database=xxx" not working

Hello,

I've tried to setup a project that supports two different databases, a
postgres-db and a mysql-db. The DATABASES-setting is configured
properly with a 'default' key for the mysql-db and 'pg' for the
postgres. However, if I try to syncdb the postgres-db, manage.py
accesses the 'default' mysql-db.
This is what I enter in the commandline: "python manage.py syncdb --
database=pg", like documented here: <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/
1.3/topics/db/multi-db/>
It seems that the --database option is ignored. Why?

Have you tried that while explicitly specifying the Python

I seem to recall that Windows has some problem passing command line

At the moment, this is not possible, as Django always uses the default
manager when doing the reverse lookup on foreign keys (as well as when
doing lookups in many-to-many relations).

However, there is a patch currently pending review in ticket #3871 [1]
which makes it possible to select which manager instead of the default
manager is used in these lookups.

As I wrote the last iteration of this patch myself, I cannot review it
myself. If you feel confident, please have a look at it and mark it as
"ready for check-in" if you think it is.

Otherwise please head over to <django-developers@googlegroups.com> and
present your use-case there, hopefully finding somebody who can take a
look at the latest progress in ticket #3871.

Regards,
Sebastian.
