You need to add C:\Python27\Scripts
to your PATH environment variable. You should also check this post about making .py files run in windows.

Question
When I try to start a new Django project by typing "django-admin.py startproject my_site" I am getting the following error: "'django-admin.py' is not a recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
I am looking for help determining the correct path environment variable for Django on windows 7.
I have python correctly setup/installed. And I really thought Django was installed, presumably based on the command window output, it churned out considerable text, and the folder structure looks correct when I ran the install file.
I am convinced the problem is that my path variables aren't set up correctly. I can only seem to find advice online to add in the Python 2.7 path variable, which I already know works.
The current location of my Django folders is: C:\django And the current location of my Python 2.7 is: C:\Python27 Inside the python/scripts, there are django-admin files, so I swear, I'm not crazy.
Do I need to be inside the Django folder to make this work?
Thank you for any input you can offer.

As per Django documentation, you need to have C:\Python27\Scripts
in your path.
