Pycharm is awesome. I've run it from WindowsXP/Windows7/Ubuntu/OSX and it's great. In terms of cross platform compatibility, I also rarely run into anything which I think speaks pretty highly of Python and Django. The Virtual Environments really help a lot. Most of the development I do is locally

I use WingIDE and one license covers all 3 platforms for a developer. And the guys that make it are incredibly nice and helpful with features and how to use. I Highly recommend it. (30 day free trial too) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django user

Thanks Jason. Putting python in front of 'django-admin' did work. I appreciate your help with this. I'm relatively new to Python and programming in general. All I've ever used is Windows and I don't know much about Linux-related operating systems. I'll probably go with Ubuntu because it seems ever

Use python before all your commands. Even if you setup windows to automatically work without this, it's still a really good habit to get into. python django-admin.py My guess is that either will work or you have a problem with your python environment. Eventually you'll stop using Windows for Dja
