can't create django project using Windows command prompt

I don't think Windows supports the shebang line. Try invoking it with python django-admin.py ...


I'm using python 2.7 , django 1.7 in windows7.

WAY-1:

1) Go to C:\Python27\Scripts (or your installation directory)

2) open cmd and enter python django-admin-script.py startproject ProjectName

3)Your project folder with all necessary files ll be created there.

The problem is in windows, django-admin.py is supplied as django-admin-script.py

WAY2:

1)Open cmd at any location you want.

2)enter django-admin startproject ProjectName

3)Your project folder with all necessary files ll be created there.

Its because the .exe file is supplied.


This often happens in Windows.

  1. Open cmd at any location you want.
  2. enter django-admin startproject ProjectName (don't add the .py extension to the admin)
  3. Your project folder with all necessary files will be created there.

This is because the .exe file is supplied inside the directory.
