John,
Setting the paths in Vista is quirky. I also cannot make it work.
As a workaround whenever I open a new command prompt, i do the
following command:
set path=C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\;C:
\Python25\
then, when i create an app or a project, i do this instead:
python C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-
admin.py startproject djangoapps
