I am a newbie at Django and everytime I try to run
python panel/manage.py startapp %app% (panel is my project) it gives me the error:

Error: '%app%' conflicts with the name of an existing Python module and cannot be used as an app name. Please try another name.

Am I doing something wrong?

Surely companies or contacts or stats is not the name of an existing Python module?

    Perhaps you need to

    cd panel
    python manage.py startapp yourappname
    

    I’m not sure running the command from a directory above your project will work properly.
