Description

In tutorial1, rev 253, line 77:
django-admin.py init --settings='myproject.settings.main'

should be:
django-admin.py init --settings=myproject.settings.main

With Windows XP, Python 2.4.1, Django rev 282, I get this error when the quotes are present:

C:\MyStuff\projects\django>c:\Python24\python.exe C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\
django-1.0.0-py2.4.egg\django\bin\django-admin.py init --settings='myapp.setting
s.admin'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\django-1.0.0-py2.4.egg\django\bin\django-a
dmin.py", line 103, in ?

  File "c:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\django-1.0.0-py2.4.egg\django\core\db\__in

    from django.conf.settings import DATABASE_ENGINE
  File "c:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\django-1.0.0-py2.4.egg\django\conf\setting
s.py", line 34, in ?
    raise EnvironmentError, "Could not import %s '%s' (is it on sys.path?): %s"
% (ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, me.SETTINGS_MODULE, e)
EnvironmentError: Could not import DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE ''myapp.settings.admin
'' (is it on sys.path?): No module named 'myapp.settings.admin'

When I remove the quotes, I don't get an error, and my database is initialized correctly.

C:\MyStuff\projects\django>c:\Python24\python.exe C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\
django-1.0.0-py2.4.egg\django\bin\django-admin.py init --settings=myapp.settings
.admin

C:\MyStuff\projects\django>
