Cannot create Django Project on Windows

edit

I'm afraid, we are not yet finished. I have 8.1.1.0 (rev 0721a05fd121) installed now and during the django project generation, the following error appears:

Project creation failed with the following errors:

Could not find manage.py and settings in the source directory

Details:

Running v:\bin\scripting\python\3.9.5\python-3.9.5.amd64\python.exe v:\bin\scripting\python\3.9.5\python-3.9.5.amd64\Scripts\django-admin.py --version in v:\my\finance\av

Django version is 3.9.2, I have no idea what kind of deprecation handling for his next major version it is doing there. No files are created in v:\my\finance\av (the planned pre-existing source directory)

p.s. Wrote this as answer, because the formatting is better.

Wing assumes that django-admin[.py] is in the same directory as python[.exe], which is apparently not the case in a portable Python base installation and possibly also with regular Python on Windows when not using a virtual environment of any kind. I'm marking this as a bug report and we'll try to fix it soon. Thanks for reporting this problem!

I just tried to have Wing setup a Django project and am still getting the django-admin error, Python 3.10.2/64b, Wing 8.2.0.2 (rev fc50b35b490f).

Hi,

I just upgraded my license to Wing Pro v9.1.1.2 and am see the error 'Expected django-admin does not exist for c:\services\python\3.11.2\python.exe' when trying to create a Django project using existing folders. A little background ...

Python in installed in c:\services\python\3.11.2 My projects are in the c:\users\myusername\ tree

I've been creating python venv, django projects etc using powershell. After this is all done I tried adding the project into wing and am getting the attached error. Do I need to do everything as a new project within wing to avoid the error?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Jim.
