Python command line tool can't understand subcommands

Question

Python command line tool can't understand subcommands on my enviroment.

For example, I run this command, but prompt print Usage. It doesn't understand subcommands.

django-admin.py startproject mysite

Please advise me.

My environment is 2.7.6 on windows

Is python in your PATH environment variable? What about python\scripts? `(C:\Python27;C:\Python27\scripts)` Is Django installed? — beercodebeer, Mar 26 '14 at 18:56
I can run "import django".PATH have C:\Python27;C:\Python27\scripts. — hucuhy, Mar 26 '14 at 18:58
@RobertoSánchez It results can't open file 'django-admin.py' — hucuhy, Mar 26 '14 at 19:05
Try `python c:\path_to_django_installation\django-admin.py startproject mysite` — Roberto, Mar 26 '14 at 19:07

Try this:

python c:\path_to_django_installation\django-admin.py startproject mysite

In windows, by default, the O.S. doesn't know how to execute python scripts.

To get Windows runs automatically your Python scripts take a look to this post: How to execute Python scripts in Windows?

Do you know how to run only "django-admin.py startproject mysite"? – hucuhy Mar 26 '14 at 19:18
See my updated answer. You need to configure default behavior for files with .py extension – Roberto Mar 26 '14 at 19:30
