Command not found: django-admin.py

Question

I am a complete beginner to Python/Django, but I want to dive right in and start experimenting. Thus I was following this guide on installing Python/Django http://devcenter.

Answer 1

Get site-package path with Python:

import site; site.getsitepackages()

And run django-admin.py directly:

python (your-site-package-addresss)/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject hellodjango

On Mac: If this works you can go and add django-admin.py to your path using symlink:

sudo ln -s (your-site-package-addresss)/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin/django-admin

(could be that you have to reopen terminal or reinstall django to get the symlink working)
