I had the same problem and could not solve it for hours. Create a new project from Pycharm or any other program you are using, install Django and then instead of running

django-admin.py startproject *project_name* .

run

django-admin startproject *project_name* .

Ommiting .py extension worked for me and everything is running as expected now.
