For sanity purposes I removed my "hack" or start up script that had "import django" and "import IPython"
Here it is: >>> import sys >>> sys.path ['c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\\Common7\\IDE', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\ipython-0.11-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\django-1.3.1-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages', 'c:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\\Common7\\IDE\\Extensions\\Microsoft\\Python Tools for Visual Studio\\1.1'] >>> It looks like in both cases Django is included but I'm still not convinced that everything is right because in the windows command prompt I am able to start my server like a charm but in Visual Studio I don't think I can really do anything. Are you not able to run Django commands from the Python prompt? That probably sounds stupid but to be honest I think the only time I can run Django commands is when I'm outside the Python interpreter in just the command prompt of Windows.
