Actually this is incorrect. see line 1 of django-admin.py[1] That
line allows the python script to be ran as a regular command it is
called the shebang [2]. The only time you need to call `python django-
admin.py` on linux is if you're specifying a python version to use,
say 2.6 is the default but you want to check against 2.7 or 3.x. then
you would specify the right python interpreter (either calling the
full path to it or if you set it up with an extension and have it in
your path, i.e. /usr/bin/python3). Otherwise the shebang line will
take care of it for you.
