Quick and dirty solution: python django-admin.py startproject mysite or
Add C:\PathToYourDjangoInstall\Scripts\ to your PATH environment variable. This can be done in one of two ways. #1 (EASIER) Open 'System Properties' (hit WindowsKey + PauseBreak, or right-click on My Computer and select 'Properties'). Switch to the 'Advanced' tab, click on 'Environment Variables' on the bottom of the dialog. Find PATH on the 'System Variables' list, double-click. append C:\PathToYourDjangoInstall\Scripts\ to the 'Variable Value'. Don't forget to add a semi-colon. #2 (BETTER) Download and install virtualenv (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv) Follow instructions to create a virtual environment in, say, C:\django\virtual\ Create a 'mydjango.bat' batch file anywhere in your computer that sets the PATH for you according to that virtual environment. Create a shortcut pointing to: %windir%\system32\CMD.EXE /K "C:\SomePath\mydjango.bat" Run it whenever you want to work within that environment. I personally use a variation of #2.
