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

Answer 1

Add two lines to .bash_profile and .bashrc files (view their difference here). You can find them in C:\cygwin\home\[username]:

export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/python2.7
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/cygdrive/c/python2.7/Lib/site-packages

Hope this helps
