You can get to the python interactive interpreter by typing "python" into a Dos shell, as long as the python executable is in your system path. The IDLE command line should work, also. In the Python folder there should be a site-packages folder which contains a folder named django. The "import django" command is attempting to import from there by default. So, if that is failing, the django site package must not be installed properly. When you download the Django package as a zip file, extract it to a location. >From that location there is a setup.py file. From a shell go to that location and enter "python setup.py install". This should install the Django framework into the Python site-packages folder, and the "import django" should work from a python shell.
