I've been following the official Django tutorial, but I cannot get it to work with Python 3.
I used:
django-admin startproject mysite
in order to create a site, but it runs on Python2... Since I know all the syntax for Python3 I would really like to find a way to code in Python3
Thank you very much !
You should try: python3 -m django-admin startproject name_of_project.
Found the solution. As Ribodou said, the following command was the key:
python3 -m django-admin startproject name_of_project
But..! I got an error, saying that couldn't find django admin.
So, it worked with the following command:
python3 -m django startproject name_of_project
Hope it helps someone else !

I'm trying to install Django on Mac, Python version 3.7 already installed , here is the comment I have put in terminal-
Django-admin startproject hello
command not found
pip install virtualenv ,
virtualenv some name inside the less than and greater than sign ,
and then cd into the directory and run:
,
source bin/activate,
pip install Django
hope this will help you.. :)
Follow the following steps to install and use django
Install django. $ python -m pip install --upgrade django
Now, check the installation $ python -m pip freeze | grep django
Create django project $ django-admin startproject mysite
What i see wrong in your question ? You are using Django-admin
i use vscode on windows10. I just created a Django project+app like this:
In the vscode powershell terminal:
python -m venv venv #createing a virtual environment called venv
.\scripts\activate #activate the virtual environment
pip install django==2.1.1 #install the newest version of Django
python -m pip install --upgrade pip #upgrading pip
pip install requests #install requests for api-requests
django-admin startproject api_order . #creates a django project called api_order
python manage.py migrate #create database
python manage.py runserver #starting the server
because of the server running in my powershell terminal i take a second powershell terminal and continue with activating the venv and creating a app.
.\scripts\activate
python manage.py startapp api_order_app #creating a app called api_order_app
When i now open the models.py python is reporting an problem "E0401:Unable to import 'django.db'" Same for all other imports in every other script.
What did go wrong?
I did this twice always the same problem.
This is how it looks like in the IDE

Thanks in Advance for helping me out.

I figured it out... I wasnt on the right virtualenvironment. But Django was only installed at the venv.
In Visual Studio Code you can choose the environment u want to use in the bottom left corner.
Now everything works just fine.
When I run the python manage.py startapp "app name" command in my Django project directory nothing happens... Every other manage.py command works without problem.
What could be the problem?
Thanks a lot!!

The first line in manage.py breaks the file on windows. The first line should look like this:
#!/usr/bin/env python
Removing it fixes the issue for me. Please try this is really helpful. Thanks
This problem occurs due to Python Path is not set, you can reinstall python and check the box that says "Add to Path 3.9"
Are you running the correct version of Python and correct version of Django?
To check Django:
python manage.py --version
Make sure you are running the right versions, if you are have Python 3 and Python 2 installed you may have multiple versions of Django.
Try to set environment variables on the command line? This path is if you were using vagrant.
PYTHONPATH=/vagrant/www DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings django-admin.py startapp
Then try manage.py does it work? Without setting envs on the command line?
Adding a virtual environment is necessary to get the above command working. In the virtual environment you can specifically install Django and it is done so as to ensure that no other package interfers with the Django framework. I was also facing the same issue but after creating a virtual environment, things became super easy!!!
I would recommend using pycharm as creating a virtual environment is just as easy as running a hello world program!!. Also paste the following code at the settings.py script at the end :
ALLOWED_HOSTS=['*']
Also specify the correct directory while running in the terminal. Be sure to check that the code should be written inside the project directory.
Hope that helps :)
I was facing a similar issue and saw this question. Tried the methods mentioned by some of the users but it did not work. Surprisingly the only thing I had to do was remove the word "python" from the command. All I typed in the command line was - manage.py startapp "appname"
I have no idea what difference does it make or how I made it work, but if anyone has a similar problem I hope your issue gets resolved.
I think it maybe because i had previously added the directory I am working in the PATH variable. Not sure. Someone has an opinion on this, do share.
I think i may have found the solution. If you're running on python 3.7 or above, try setting your directory to ~\YourProjectName\YourProjectName with the cd commmand then type py -m django startapp <appName>
The command
$ python-admin startapp main
returns the error " bash: python-admin: command not found".
I was able to resolve using the following command instead
$ py -m django startapp main
if some of you are following old tutorials on django then after you have python version 3.7 or above then the command "python manage.py startapp 'appname'" doesnt works.//well it didn't work for me so insted of that command you can use "py -m django startapp 'appname'"
it worked for me so you can also try that..
the command -> manage.py startapp 'appname'" works for python version upto 3.7 and for 3.7 and above version used command -> "py -m django startapp 'appname'" it works for me...

Why django is not creating project for me?
Please help !!
Add 'python' before django-admin.py (or add full path to python.exe).
C:\Shekhar\djangoWorld>python c:\Python27\Scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite
Your Django installation is broken. Reinstall.
In my case I'm using Canopy on Windows 8 and the only way it worked for me was putting python command also the full path of django-admin.py like this example "c:> python C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\Scripts\django-admin.py startproject ".
I have Canopy installed as well. I copied the django-admin file into the directory where I wanted to install my first project. I opened up the python command prompt and typed in:
python django-admin.py startproject mysite
That did the trick for me. Thanks to those who posted because that got me going down the right path.
I am trying to install django locally on ubuntu but cannot get it to recognize admin-django.py. I performed the subversion checkout, moved the django directory on to the python path and then created a symlink to django-admin.py. I can import django from within the python interpreter but cannot run
django-admin.py startproject mysite
Any ideas what I could be missing?
You probably need to give the full path to django-admin.py. Giving us the error message would help.
If your symlink is in the current directory (you don't say) then:
./django-admin.py
should work. Otherwise its
/usr/wherever/python/site-packages/something/django/huh/django-admin.py
Make sure that the django-admin.py file is executable:
chmod +x django-admin.py
