Good good! So, this means I was executing the wrong django-admin.py file. Daniel, I'm curious about your question, too. Because I though that activating virtualenv the path is automatically set to the specified environment and then no need to include the right django-admin.py file into some environment variable... Anyway, maybe a solution for you is to put, possibly at the beginning, your django-admin.py path into the PATH variable. Elena we need you... :D
