I have just spotted that something is wrong with my django-admin.py command. I checked similar SO posts on django-admin.py problems but nothing seems to be related to my problem. I use Windows Vista (yeah, I know...). I also have many versions of django in some folder on my disk and I switch to the version I need using junction command (this is similar to symlinking in unix), I don't have problems with this and never had problems before.
I used django-admin.py many times before but now for some unknown reasons I got this info (Django 1.1.1):
C:>django-admin.py startproject some_project
Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.
and suprisingly when I type what django asked me to type:
C:>django-admin.py help
Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.
????
When I switch to Django 1.2.1 I got this:
C:>django-admin.py startproject help
Usage: django-admin.py subcommand [options] [args]
Options:
-v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output,
2=all output
--settings=SETTINGS The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
"myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided, the
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be
used.
--pythonpath=PYTHONPATH
A directory to add to the Python path, e.g.
"/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
--traceback Print traceback on exception
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
Type 'django-admin.py help <subcommand>' for help on a specific subcommand.
Available subcommands:
cleanup
compilemessages
createcachetable
...
startproject
...
validate
no matter if I type startproject help
or startproject some_name
it always shows the same message.
Any ideas?
EDIT: new info
I've just noticed that my command line arguments are not visible when command is parsed by django managament utlity (when I print command argv it shows only path to django-admin.py without any of given arguments)
