[Answered ]-Running django-admin.py startproject is giving me an error

This is not a Django error. It appears it cannot find the Python module unicodedata which is part of the Python Standard Library (docs). I see that there is also a bug report about this issue (Python 2.7 on Windows, see here). On the other hand, some people there report that reinstalling their Python installation fixed the problem. You could give that a try.

notice the last line, it says import unicodedata, importError

im guessing you probably didnt install your django properly.

so reinstall it and check that django is in your “path”, i believe django does this automatically when it installs but doesnt hurt to double check.

if reinstalling django still doesn’t work, i suggest you uninstall python and django related stuff.

then install python, install pip, then use pip install django.
