Description

When running django-admin.py init --settings='myproject.settings.main' (as specified in tutorial 1) I received:

C:\www\webroot\myproject>django-admin.py init --settings='myproject.settings.main'
Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise EnvironmentError, "Could not import %s '%s' (is it on sys.path?): %s"% (ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE, me.SETTINGS_MODULE, e)
EnvironmentError: Could not import DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE ''myproject.settings.main'' (is it on sys.path?): No module named 'myproject.settings.main'

The problem is with the quotes around the module name (--settings='myproject.settings.main'). Running django-admin.py init --settings=myproject.settings.main (no quotes) works correctly.
