I just went to create a new django project and I typed django-admin.py startproject my_project into the command prompt and it opened the django-admin.py file in my ide (komodo edit).
This happens every time I run this command in any form, even if I just try django-admin.py. Any ideas what's going on and how I fix it?
I'm on Win Xp with django 1.2.1
It sounds like you associated .py files with Komodo Edit instead of with python.exe. The simplest workaround is to type "python django-admin.py ..." to execute the admin.
You can look in your Explorer options to change the association. There's a right-click menu option I think called "Open With..." that will let you change it.

I am using Python 3.4 and Django 1.8.
I can't seem to be able to start Django properly. Whenever I run django-admin.py startproject mysite it opens Sublime but it is missing the directories manage.py and all of the other .py files. mysite is just blank.
Any reason why? I have followed http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/django_start_project/README.html and so far had no problems until this.
EDIT: I fixed the problem, for some reason when I entered the command django-admin.py it would not work but when I removed the .py in the command it worked.
To me this doesn't sound like a Django problem. Since you do not mention with which OS you see this behaviour, I can only guess that you have an file type association that launches your code editor rather than the python executable.
For windows, anything ending in .py should be run by Python, not your editor. Other OSes are more sophisticated about file names and their associations.
When trying to start a project with django using : django-admin.py startproject a pop up window opens asking to choose a default program to use.
The two main programs it shows are : Visual studio and Notepad.
I have already set the python in 'PATH' and same with the pip which i used to install django.
What should I do to fix that?
Thanks.
run
python <PATH>/django-admin.py startproject
your system is not configured to run .py files. read here
When I double-click on pycharm.sh, Ubuntu lets me choose between "Run in Terminal" and "Run". What is the difference between these options?
To make it a bit more user-friendly:
After you've unpacked it, go into the directory, and run bin/pycharm.sh.
Once it opens, it either offers you to create a desktop entry, or if it doesn't, you can ask it to do so by going to the Tools menu and selecting Create Desktop Entry...
Then close PyCharm, and in the future you can just click on the created menu entry. (or copy it onto your Desktop)
To answer the specifics between Run and Run in Terminal: It's essentially the same, but "Run in Terminal" actually opens a terminal window first and shows you console output of the program. Chances are you don't want that :)
(Unless you are trying to debug an application, you usually do not need to see the output of it.)
The question is already answered, Updating answer to add the PyCharm bin directory to $PATH var, so that pycharm editor can be opened from anywhere(path) in terminal.
Edit the bashrc file,
nano .bashrc
Add following line at the end of bashrc file
export PATH="<path-to-unpacked-pycharm-installation-directory>/bin:$PATH"
Now you can open pycharm from anywhere in terminal
pycharm.sh
For Pycharm CE 2018.3 and Ubuntu 18.04 with snap installation:
env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/pycharm-community_pycharm-community.desktop /snap/bin/pycharm-community %f
I get this command from KDE desktop launch icon.
Sorry for the language but I am a Spanish developer so I have my system in Spanish.
As mentioned in the above answer, by updating the bashrc file you can run the pycharm.sh from anywhere on the linux terminal.
But if you love the icon and wants the Desktop shortcuts for the Pycharm on Ubuntu OS then follow the Below steps,
Quick way to create Pycharm launcher.
1. Start Pycharm using the pycharm.sh cmd from anywhere on the terminal or start the pycharm.sh located under bin folder of the pycharm artifact.
2. Once the Pycharm application loads, navigate to tools menu and select “Create Desktop Entry..”
3. Check the box if you want the launcher for all users.
4. If you Check the box i.e “Create entry for all users”, you will be asked for your password.
5. A message should appear informing you that it was successful.
6. Now Restart Pycharm application and you will find Pycharm in Unity dash and Application launcher.."
First, go to that folder which is containing pycharm.sh and open terminal from there. Then type
./pycharm.sh
this will open pycharm.
bin folder contains pycharm.sh file.
You can launch PyCharm from terminal using pycharm-community or pycharm-professional if installed via snap. See here for more details: Location of PyCharm after install PyCharm as snap package
Yes just go to terminal
cd Downloads
ls
cd pycharm-community-2021.2.2 (your pycharm version)
ls
cd bin
ls
./pycharm.sh
It will open your continued pycharm project
I did the edit and added the PATH for my Pycharm in .bashrc but I was still getting the error "pycharm.sh: command not found".
After trying several other things the following command resolved the issue which creates a symbolic link.
sudo ln -s /snap/pycharm-community/267/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/local/bin/pycharm
The first is location to the exact path to pycharm.sh and the second is user bin which should be on PATH env by default
Official docs says if you have installed pycharm at this location: /opt/pycharm/bin/pycharm.sh then you can make it callable from terminal by using this command:
ln -s /opt/pycharm/bin/pycharm.sh /usr/local/bin/pycharm
It worked when I did the poll tutorial in linux, but I'm doing it again in Windows 7, and it does nothing.
I already set the environmental variables, and set the file association to my python27.exe
When I run django-admin.py startproject mysite from the DOS command prompt, it executes, but it's showing me all the information (Like the options, etc) as though I typed the help option instead. It's not actually creating project files in my directory. I appreciate the help.
also, I tried the solution found here (it appears to be the exact same problem).
It did not work
django-admin.py is not working properly
I ran into the same problem.
Never having worked with Django before but having worked with Python 2.7 a fair bit, all on a windows 7 platform. I downloaded the latest version of Django and unpacked it on my desktop.
After mucking around a bit managed to get it to install itself. I found could not just follow the tutorial thats provided in the docs googled the problem and found this thread, now I was able to get it to work by doing the following things,
I work with a dos command window open. I navigate to the root of where I want the project file to be set up. I then ensure that the django_admin file has been editted as per wynston's instructions and then typed the following.
python c:\location of django_admin.py startproject projectname
and it executed beautifully.
*Thanks to wynston for the edit to the django_admin.py file.
Try to run python27 django-admin.py startproject mysite from the command line,maybe a different (older) python.exe executes the django-admin.py file. If there's a program associated to the .py files, things mixes up, and your path environment variable doesn't matter.
I suggest you to use virtualenv. When you use it, you should put the python.exe before every .py file you want to run, because the install of python will associate .py files to the installed python.exe, and will use that, whatever is in your path. :(
Change the first line of django-admin.py #!/usr/bin/env python to for example
#!D:\Program Files\Python\python.exe (Where you install your python.exe,that's my directory), it works.
Use python django-admin.py startproject mysite. That worked for me some time ago when I had the same issue.
The solution is simple in Windows:
1-Go to C: \ Python34 \ Scripts
2-Right click on django-admin.py
3-Select open with
4-Select default program
5-Select Laucher Python for Windows (Console)
6- Run the command in CMD Windows python django-admin.py startproject mysite
Great answers. But unfortunately it did not work for me. This is how I solved it
Opened django_admin.py as #wynston said. But the path at first line was already showing #!C:\ correctly. So did not had to change it
I had to put "..." around django-admin.py address. Navigated to the project directory in cmd.exe and ran this
python "C:\Users\ ......\Scripts\django-admin.py" startproject projectname
It worked only with the quotation marks. I am using Anaconda Python 2.7 64 bit, on Windows 7, 64 bit. Hope it helps
I'm learning django and I did successfully start a site on Windows XP by following the tutorial.
However, on Windows 7 when I issued:
django-admin.py startproject mysite
python.exe was started and a window appeared to ask me to choose either python.exe or other program to open a file....
Did I do anything wrong or there are more tricks for windows 7?
That's already been reported to the django, see http://bugs.python.org/issue7936
And these's an solution:
open regedit and find python.exe like this
"C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1"
change it to
"C:\Python26\python.exe" "%1" %*
This is what worked for me:
I already had c:\python27 and c:\python27\Scripts in PATH.
Copy django-admin.py and django-admin-script.py from c:\python27\Scripts to your desired folder
with cmd go to that folder and run > django-admin startproject mysite
Note that if I doesn't type python windows just opens the django-admin.py in editor.
I had the same error when I ran django-admin.py on the command prompt. I couldn't create a projects.
I tried to run Regedit by using Find to Search python.exe and then adding %% but it was not sufficient.
I then added the necessary Path to the System PATH as shown below.
Open:
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> PATH.
Add to the PATH:
C:\Python27\python.exe;C:\Python27\Scripts;C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\django\bin
It Work! Now I can Create Django Projects and applications Using Command on Windows 7.
In latest django(1.11.7 for now) , simple django-admin would work, instead of django-admin.py .
I had the same problem i followed django-admin.py startproject mysite not working well on windows 7
and found that the python files still associated with my text editor.
Changing the necessary registry keys fix the issue.
I also had the same problem but don't worry its simple to solve this problem, just add "C:\Users\Nik's\myenv\Scripts" to the enviroment veriables and its done.
The address may be differnt in your pc as it depends where you install it.
Change the first line of django-admin.py #!/usr/bin/env python to for example #!D:\Program Files\Python\python.exe (Where you install your python.exe,that's my directory); it works.
The solution is simple in Windows:
1-Go to C: \ Python34 \ Scripts
2-Right click on django-admin.py

6- Run the command in CMD Windows python django-admin.py startproject mysite
In Windows 8.1, I faced the same problem. In my case when I tried to create my project, it would open the contents of the page in Internet Explorer window rather than creating the project folder. I became curious of what exactly was this django-manage.py. After searching, I got to django-admin.py file in the path C:\Python34\Scripts and I right clicked on it chose to open with default program of Launcher Python for Windows(Console).
Again I got back to the CMD and in my project directory I entered:
django-admin.py startproject mysite
And worked just fine.!!!
I have faced the same issue and when I ran the Python installer again and clicked on the repair option, it magically fixed everything for me. Now, I can run django-admin straight from CMD.
first of all make sure that python/Scripts is in your path
run "django-admin startproject mysite" instead of "django-admin.py startproject mysite"
I get the same problem for Windows 10. Here is how I resolve it:
I run the terminal CMD with administrator right. How to do that ? Right click on the terminal and click on Run as administrator.
I install django by doing: python -m pip install django. You can check that django is really installed by doing: python -m pip freeze. If you see django in the list, then django is installed.
Finally, I create my django project by doing: django-admin startproject project-name.
NB: For step 3, you don't need the terminal with administrator right.
