I'm a rook too and received the same error. I re-read the installation instructions here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-official-release
It turns out I had to run "python setup.py install". I believe this copies the django-admin.py to a location, or places a path variable, so it is accessible. Once i ran the command above, i was able to successfully use "django- admin.py startproject X" good luck.
