I'm working my way through the tutorial and creating the application I
want rather than the articles example. I've become stuck between two
sections of the tutorial.
Creating the project (section 2.3.1 worked fine from the TLD,
~/development/:
django-admin startproject crm
created ~/development/crm/ containing the files it should (page 14).
Moving to section 2.3.2 I start the runserver and, sure enough, I can see
the web page it created.
The problem occurs in section 2.3.3 when I try to create the crm
application. I cannot do this while the development server is running; there
is no system or python prompt. When I kill the running development server
(^C), and issue the command
python3 manage.py startapp crm
I'm told that application already exists:
~/development/crm]$ python3 manage.py startapp crm
CommandError: 'crm' conflicts with the name of an existing Python
module and
cannot be used as an app name. Please try another name.
but I have no idea where django thinks it exists.
Not all the files are found:
~/development/crm/crm]$ ls
__init__.py __pycache__/ settings.py urls.py wsgi.py
These were created by the startproject command.
Now knowing how I dug this hole I'm in I'd appreciate your teaching me how
to get out of the hole and move on.
