Hi Elena, I actually had the exact same problem Francesco was having. I wasn't able to start a project, and then I tried your question. The cmd line went something like this:
(env) path/to/directory/python env/Scripts/django-admin.py startproject newproject It worked! While I'm happy with the result, I'd like to keep projects in the root folder, and typing out the path to django-admin.py every time seems like quite a hassle. Is there a way to point to the file without having to specify its location? All the tutorials and such that I've seen online simply use the django-admin.py startproject (name) convention and it works fine.
