Hi to all,

I am trying to get started with Django. So  installing Django through pip and following the tutorial on the project's website, I first created a "mysite" project and now try to run "

python manage.py runserver". However, this gives me following error:

C:\mysite>python manage.py runserver
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 22, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

    exit_code = os.spawnve(os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, args, new_environ)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'mbcs' codec can't encode characters in position 0--1: invalid character


Does anyone know th ereason for this error and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot.
