    See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#startproject-projectname

    This command is disabled when the –settings option to django-admin.py is used, or when the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE has been set. To re-enable it in these situations, either omit the –settings option or unset DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
