Public bug reported:
The documentation (file:///usr/share/doc/python-django-
doc/html/intro/tutorial01.html) states that you can create a new Django
project with the command:
django-admin startproject mysite
However, when you do that, you get the message that the command does not
exist. The documentation says, that when you get that message, you
should make a symbolic link from the path to django-admin.py file to a
file in a directory in your path. It is confusing which django-admin.py
to choose, because python-django supplies [/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/django/bin/django-admin.py], [/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-
packages/django/bin/django-admin.pyc] and [/usr/local/bin/django-
admin.py].
If you make a link from one of the three files to e.g. /usr/local/bin
/django-admin.py, it turns out that you should make the file executable
before runnking it.
When you finally run the command django-admin startproject mysite, you
get the error message
"Unknown command: 'startproject'".
Probably you ought to give the command:
django-admin startapp mysite.
This is very confusing for a beginner. Therefore I suggest that in
package python-django django-admin.py would be executable and in the
path of users and that the documentation suggests the right command to
set up a new site.
Thanks for your help.
