If I understand you correctly your problem is the shell not finding the django-admin.py file. Setting the PythonPath doesn't put django-admin.py on your normal Path, which is used to find commands in the shell. So you could either symlink django-admin to some place in your Path, like /usr/bin, or just call the command with the whole path (python /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject XYZ).
Is that what you needed? > On ubuntu 6.06 with python 2.4 dev (per a suggestion from the install > doc comments (though had the same issue w/o)) installed and svn > checkout of django.
