Your editor has been "helpful" and registered itself as the handler for python programs, so that when you try to run them, it instead opens them up in your editor. Isn't that handy? You have a couple of choices. You can fix this broken setup, and then you can follow the documentation as normal. Alternatively, you can leave it broken, and instead of running "django-admin.py", run "python django-admin.py". If you do the latter you will have to continually remind yourself to mentally insert the extra "python " before running any python script.
