Error while executing

[rodrigo74@…]

I am following the part 1 of the tutorial, on a Windows XP SP2 machine.

I had no problems until I tried to run the command

django-admin.py init --settings=myproject.settings.main

The error I got:

C:\myproject>django-admin.py init --settings=myproject.settings.main
Traceback (most recent call last):

EnvironmentError: Could not import DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE 'myproject.settings.ma
in' (is it on sys.path?): No module named myproject.settings.main

I also tried to set the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE but got the same error message.

I am using the svn version from 4.aug.2005

This is because your settings module is not in PYTHONPATH (it says so in the error message). Please don't use the ticket system for support questions; make a post to django-users or ask on IRC.
