Unable to generate project with bin/django startproject projectname

[kellanjacobs]

After running bin/buildout I try to run
bin/django startproject project name and get an error about unable to import the module projectname.developement.
I have tried different versions of commenting out parts of my buildout. I was also able to repeat the error using the buildout in the example of the readme.

Here is my error message.
K-9:propanel dnowak$ bin/django startproject propanel

And here is my current buildout.cfg file.

[buildout]
extends =
versions.cfg

socket-timeout = 3
show-picked-versions = true
parts =
django

eggs =
django

develop = .

versions = versions

extensions =
buildout.threatlevel

eggs-directory = eggs

activate this if you want to use a cache dir, you will have to create the dir

download-cache = ${buildout:directory}/downloads

[django]
recipe = djangorecipe

settings = development

eggs = ${buildout:eggs}

project = propanel

test = propanel

interpreter = py

Yes, this is a problem. The bin/django we generate assumes/requires that you already have a settings file. This is obviously not the case if you're trying to generate the project in the first place.

The good news: your setup looks fine.

The bad news: bin/django really does need a settings file in the current setup.

Can you try something? Add this to your [django] part:

dotted-settings-path = django.conf.global_settings

If my guess is right, this allows you to run bin/django to generate your project. Afterwards you'll have to remove the line again.

I've tested it, that is the case.
