The virtualenv folder should not be your root folder.

it's not.  VirtEnv is base.  VirtEnv/mysite is the virtualenv.  this is where manage.py is located then VirtEnv/mysite/mysite and .../mysite/polls
this is what the tutorial says for 'your first project'.  trying to use the same naming schema so i can follow along better
 

You can also use `venv/bin/python manage.py runserver` if you need to 

run the server from a script.

 

that was the problem i was having.  not having the whole/proper dir structure being pointed to
was trying python VirtEnv/mysite/manage.py
instead of VirtEnv/bin/python VirtEnv/mysite/manage.py

i think that i was/am having a hard time with the idea that it's seperate, since sometimes without being in the venv i get the same command options that i'm used to at just a standard prompt.  have to start thinking like it's a virtual server, disconnected from the base system.

i think that i will stay at the (virtualenv)prompt $, until i get more used to it.  that might help with somethings.

thank you for the pointers, they are very helpful
