This page contains some advice about errors and problems commonly encountered\nduring the development of Django applications.
\ndjango-admin should be on your system path if you\ninstalled Django via python setup.py. If it’s not on your path, you can\nfind it in site-packages/django/bin, where site-packages is a directory\nwithin your Python installation. Consider symlinking to django-admin from some place on your path, such as\n/usr/local/bin.
If django-admin doesn’t work but django-admin.py does, you’re probably\nusing a version of Django that doesn’t match the version of this documentation.\ndjango-admin is new in Django 1.7.
If you’re using Mac OS X, you may see the message “permission denied” when\nyou try to run django-admin. This is because, on Unix-based systems like\nOS X, a file must be marked as “executable” before it can be run as a program.\nTo do this, open Terminal.app and navigate (using the cd command) to the\ndirectory where django-admin is installed, then\nrun the command sudo chmod +x django-admin.
UnicodeDecodeError. What am I doing wrong?Link to this heading#This class of errors happen when a bytestring containing non-ASCII sequences is\ntransformed into a Unicode string and the specified encoding is incorrect. The\noutput generally looks like this:
\nUnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x?? in position ?:\nordinal not in range(128)\nThe resolution mostly depends on the context, however here are two common\npitfalls producing this error:
\nYour system locale may be a default ASCII locale, like the “C” locale on\nUNIX-like systems (can be checked by the locale command). If it’s the\ncase, please refer to your system documentation to learn how you can change\nthis to a UTF-8 locale.
You created raw bytestrings, which is easy to do on Python 2:
\nmy_string = 'café'\nEither use the u'' prefix or even better, add the\nfrom __future__ import unicode_literals line at the top of your file\nso that your code will be compatible with Python 3.2 which doesn’t support\nthe u'' prefix.
