can't start a django project in windows 7

Question

I'm using django to do my project in ubuntu and am trying to move it into windows but am having a problem. When i issued django-admin.py startproject mysite in windows, instead of creating mysite it rather behaves like running just django-admin.py command. Infact no subcommand works with django admin.py

Answer 1

Use django-admin startproject mysite to create a project in windows instead of django-admin.py startproject mysite. That means, avoid .py

Answer 2

Windows isn't developer friendly. If you are coming from an Ubuntu background and miss bash then you should use Cygwin. I bash, git, mercurial, python, virtualenv, pip and django working on cygwin just as good as it works on linux.
