Python Django Basics What a View! Running the Server

Manage.py, settings.py, etc in PyCharm

I thought that manage.py, settings.py, etc were always created automatically when you start a project in Django...when I start projects in PyCharm, I can't seem to find them.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Just start the project using the command line. You can always edit your project files in pycharm later. Also, be sure to check your file associations, I had my .py extensions associated with pycharm (so they would always open ready for editing unless I right clicked and opened with), however, this prevents you from running a server from the command line until you reset your associations.

Hope that helps, Matt
