> And how to install django depends from system to system... As I said

> installing packages from packet-manager the most common and the most

> About what "djando-admin.py" do. This is script file that generates simple
> structure of your future code, small enviroment like "hello world" in other
> programming languages. In some distributions (like ubuntu AFAIK) its also
> can start simple HTTP server for debugging your django project. On
> different systems there is also exists "manage.py" module which also do
> this (and this is common way that describes in books). Also it provides
> some interface to manipulate on different settings of your django project.
> To make simple "hello world" enviroment you should write in your terminal
> something like: "django-admin startproject helloworld"

>> i have to install django and ive come across some weird instructions.
>> it says to set Django's  django-admin.py file to my environment
>> variable. I was instructed to get django via easy installer that was
>> located in my Python/Scripts folder. it installed django to a
>> different place in site-packages, where django-admin.py resides.But
>> now its telling me to add this file to my env variable and it should
>> also be located in Python/Scripts .. but as i've said, its clearly not
>> there, it is somewhere in a site-packages/django sub folder. so is
>> this an error? or do i go ahead and add Python/Scripts to the env
>> variable, even those the file points somewhere else?
>>
>> My 2nd problem is it says after adding it i will get a python
>> interpreter and Django's djando-admin.py commad up and running. What
>> does this mean? both files open? it was specific about adding the path
>> to the env variable, but if i already have python added, why do i need
>> to add django? shouldnt it already be added? i will quote:
>>
>> "You should make sure "djando-admin.py" is in your PATH environment
>> variable so that it can be executed from the command-line (unless you
>> like calling interpreters by using full pathnames)"
>>
>> does this mean in a terminal, that i can be in
>> "Python/myproject/script_one/" and be able to open a .py file in
>> "Python/myproject/script_two/" by simpling typing its file name
>> without having to cd into its directory or typing its full path?
