Why is django giving error: no module named django.core?

I get the error in question when I attempt to create a project. I followed the instructions found at how to install python an django in windows vista.

From your command line (cmd) run "ftype Python.File" and make sure that your .py files are being executed by the correct version/installation of Python.

It's possible another application has surreptitiously changed this under the hood.

You can get around this problem by providing the full path to your django-admin.py file

python c:\python25\scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite

Also make sure that you have permission to access all of django's files. I've seen these kinds of errors happen because of permissions issues before.

EDIT: I haven't tried it out, but there's a link on that page to Instant Django, which looks like a pretty easy to set up.

Most likely you don't have Django on your Python path. To test, quickly fire up Python and run:

>>> import django

If that fails, it's just a matter of getting Django onto your Python path. Either you set the environment variable, or you move django into your python2x/Lib/site-packages directory. If it does work, try importing core. If that fails there, then something is probably wrong with your Django install.
