This looks as though you changed directory to c:\python27\scripts and
issued the command there. That's not a good thing to do.

Instead, created a fresh empty directory and issue commands like this in
a DOS prompt:

>chdir \Users\Gintare
C:\Users\Gintare> mkdir my_project
C:\Users\Gintare> chdir my_project
C:\Users\Gintare\my_project> django-admin.py startproject mysite

This will work because when you installed Python, the installer put
C:\Python27\Scripts on the path. You shouldn't have to specify the
location of django-admin.py.

Afterwards, you should see C:\Users\Gintare\my_project\mysite and be
able to follow the tutorial easily

Good luck
