django-startproject-win.py
#Alternate to the django-admin.py startproject command.
#In windows, using 'django-admin.py startproject' is problematic...the .py extension
#is associated with the main install of Python, not the install on the current virtualenv, which fouls things up (e.g., import errors). Code below:
#1. forces module mode, which will check the path for django-admin (interpreter searches the path for modules but not for scripts)
#2. no more .py extension
