Cannot start any django app

Question

I am a newbie at Django and everytime I try to run python panel/manage.py startapp %app% (panel is my project) it gives me the error:

Error: \'

I was confused as well, until I realized that a Django project is a container for applications; this sequence makes it a bit clearer:

# first create a Project (container).
django-admin.py startproject Project

cd Project
python manage.py startapp polls
python manage.py startapp hello
