Yes, should have founf that one myself. Read stuff @
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/install/

Been Googling some and reading some more and joined Django on IRC Free node.
They said the python that comes with $python is not the one Django is
installed under and recommended to Google for related issues. Well here is
the result you asked:

Jaspers-MacBook-Pro:bin jasper$ cd
/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/
Jaspers-MacBook-Pro:bin jasper$ ls -la
total 88
-rwxr-xr-x   2 root  admin   128 Dec 30  2006 django-admin.py

I chmod +x django-admin already, but the command still does not work. I
guess that is because of a Python - Django issue..

Read it briefly and realized there is probably still a path issue..

Yes, sounds better than deleting python and installing it where Django looks
for it... OK, made the soft link:
$ sudo ln -s
/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py
/opt/local/bin/

Edit ~/.Profile and added the path:
$ grep PATH ~/.Profile
# MacPorts Installer addition on 2009-10-20_at_13:11:20: adding an
appropriate PATH variable for use with MacPorts.
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
# Finished adapting your PATH environment variable for use with MacPorts.
export
PATH=/opt/local/bin:opt/local/sbin:/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/bin:$PATH

And:

$ django-admin.py
Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.

Daniel and Scott you are  heroes!!! Thanks a lot! Learned a lot about $PATH,
soft links and other stuff today.
Again Thanks! I appreciate it!
