Thanks for the quick reply! I realized I posted a poor screenshot where the name of the project had a space in it. I was being a bit silly there, to be honest...that was after many failed attempts.
I've tried without spacing, and I got the same thing. I've tried all sorts of things, really...here are a bunch of my attempts, with accompanying code and screenshots. They all give the same error. 1. Regular creation from any directory C:\users\jmeas\webdesign> django-admin.py startproject firstone http://www.jmeas.com/webdesign/django_error2.png 2. Moving to the directory with django-admin.py file and running it there. 3. Typing the whole name of the file to run it (independently of #2 and combined with #2, as below) http://www.jmeas.com/webdesign/django_error3.png<http://www.jmeas.com/webdesign/django_error2.png> 3. adding the file to the Paths I've noticed I have django-admin.py in both C:\python32\Scripts and the longer URL in some of those screenshots. This doesn't seem to be affecting their functionality, though. I've tried them both, and I think it's the same error.
