You've left out the most important bit - the actual traceback error. What is it? If it can't find something, then it could be a PYTHONPATH issue. Google tells me PT4VS may not support the usual way modules are discovered (http://pytools.codeplex.com/discussions/254602), although that should affect IronPython only, and not CPython (possibly intellisense as well). Inside PT4VS, in the interactive window, type in the following and paste the result - import sys print sys.path > Additionally in PT4VS there is a field for a startup script.

If it isn't, you need to check your project settings (you are using a Python VS project right?). > What I am asking you is why am I not able to get the full power of Django? > In my command prompt I wasn't inside the python interpreter and ran the > Django commands and everything worked fine.
