Question

I have installed django on my windows vista computer and can add the django library to a python script, but cannot seem to ge teh following to work correctly from the command line:

django-admin.py startproject mysite

When I try to run this or the help command I always get the default message that shows all the commands as if I did not send it the second argument.

Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Answer 1

FYI, I figured out the issue based on another thread I found here:

Windows is not passing command line arguments to Python programs executed from the shell

The issue was about how the registry was handling my calls to admin.py and the fact that it was dropping the arguments I passed.

Hope this helps others who run into this issue.
