How to integrate Django and Cygwin?

Question

I have a Windows box with cygwin, python and django installed.

Now I want to run django-admin, but when I do I get the error:

$ django-admin.py
c:\\Pytho         


        

Answer 1

Sort of sounds like the windows version of Python is trying to run instead of the cygwin one. What happens if you type this:

$ python django-admin.py

Here I'm assuming

$ which python

Finds the cygwin version of python (which will be something like /usr/bin/python).

You may also try (temporarily) uninstalling the windows version of python and use only cygwin.
