Pinax run it under win7 with eclipse?

Question

I have installed pinax, and created a project with the pinax-admin

then I copied the project into an empty django-eclipse project and wanted to run synchdb form the eclipse console but I only get:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have the tables created in my postgresql db, but when I want to run the project I get:

**ImportError: Could not import settings 'testpinax.settings' (Is it on sys.path?): No module named testpinax.settings**

BUT when I look at my project you can see that the settings.py file is there:

What am I doing wrong?

PS.: I am running win7, eclipse indigo and postgresl 1.16

UPDATE

>>> import sys
>>> print sys.path
['', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Pytho
n27\\lib\\site-packages\\pip-1.2.1-py2.7.egg', 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.
zip', 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs', 'C:\\Python27\\lib', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win',
'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk', 'C:\\Python27', 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages']

from which folder do you mean? because I cannot use the command line in eclipse. — maximus, Oct 31 '12 at 14:21

The Error Message asks you to append the testpinax folder to your PYTHONPATH environment variable, view this wiki entry for a possible solution on how to achieve that.

The Problem might originate from you not starting the script from the testpinax folder.

why is that a problem if i start it from the project folder? – maximus Oct 31 '12 at 14:59
Python only finds files in the current folder or the PYTHONPATH. It will not look for files anywhere else. – tehmisvh Oct 31 '12 at 15:09
that has nothing to do with your testpinax folder. – tehmisvh Oct 31 '12 at 17:51
