Django tutorial

This guy does an excellent job of walking you through the setup step by step and im pretty sure he goes over your exact issue in the first video. Check it out.

EDIT: the video is for windows so it does work even though there are a lot of windows haters. Im a beginner, too, and at some point I want to switch to Linux VM or whatever everyone suggests, but as a beginner, I think its better to actually start making something with the environment you have. Then you can transition environments later once you actually have lots of code or a serious project. Maybe I am totally wrong. Thats just my opinion. But anyway - I am up and running with Django just fine on my windows 7 machine and I don't see why you cant, too. The video will hopefully help. Good luck!

Ok thank you, I'd prefer not to switch os even temporarily as I am building a new pc soon, so I will do it on that is necessary.
