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: \'         


        

Answer 1

if you want to make an empty directory that will contain your new app

project-dir
    └── blog
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── ...
        ├── blog-ext #this empty dir that will contain the new app
        └── views.py

so instead of typing :

python manage.py newapp blog/blog-ext

it should be :

django-admin startapp newapp blog/blog-ext
