Sorry I realize this is a very novice question: I am not yet skilled

  • 0

Sorry I realize this is a very novice question: I am not yet skilled in Python. I have tried to follow a few basic django tutorials to get a simple site running. I am getting the error -bash: django-admin.py: command not found in Mac Terminal when trying to use the command django-admin.py startproject FirstBlog function.

If I try python django-admin.py startproject FirstBlog instead, terminal returns

 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "django-admin.py", line 2, in <module>
 from django.core import management
 ImportError: No module named django.core

I have tried these commands from different directories, but still the same result. This is MacOSX 10.5.8 and Bitnami DjangoStack 1.4. I have tried to find the answer elsewhere on stackoverflow and google: people have suggested changing the path to django-admin.py. I have tried but either have written my paths incorrectly or this isn’t the problem.

If more information is required I will gladly supply it. Thank you.

EDIT

I have abandoned the BitNami DjangoStack after a lot of difficulty installing the program. I have reverted to installing Django/mysql manually, which turns out to be a lot easier. Thank you.

    It looks like Bitnami supplies its own version of Python and that’s where Django is installed so you need to make sure you are running that Python and not an Apple-supplied system Python, for example. According to the quick start guide, it looks you can either use their supplied console application which should ensure you are running with their Python:

    /Applications/djangostack-1.4-0/use_djangostack
    

    or you may be able to use the absolute path to that Python:

    /Applications/djangostack-1.4-0/python/bin/python django-admin.py
