272	Error while executing 	rodrigo74@…	Adrian Holovaty	"I am following the part 1 of the tutorial, on a Windows XP SP2 machine.

I had no problems until I tried to run the command 

django-admin.py init --settings=myproject.settings.main

The error I got:

{{{

I also tried to set the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE but got the same error message.

I am using the svn version from 4.aug.2005
