Hi all,

I'm new to Django. I got through the beginner tutorial without much
trouble and I just finished the introductory chapters of The
Definitive Guide, so I decided to start work on a real project. I've
quickly run into a bizarre stumbling block however when I try to start
my new project.

I run cmd.exe to open the windows command prompt, then I navigate to
my django projects folder, then type 'django-admin.py startproject
newsite' and then I get this error in the command prompt:

'The system cannot find the file idle.pyw'.

I also get an error dialog in windows titled 'idle.pyw' that says
'Windows cannot find 'idle.pyw'. Make sure you typed the name
correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start
button, and then click Search.'

I get the same error if I simply type 'django-admin.py' into the
prompt as well.

I really have no clue what's going on here. What does idle.pyw have to
do with anything? Google has been no help. I did this exact same thing
when going through the tutorial with no problems whatsoever, and made
no changes to any of my PATH variables or anything of that kind.

Any ideas? I'm really eager to get going with Django but feeling quite
frustrated! Thanks for help.

-Dane
