I'm confused. What are you doing with GAE and Windows 8.1? Have you given up Windows?
Also, I think you will fare better with Pillow rather than PIL. It seems PIL is no longer being supported and Pillow has taken over.

similar problems. No, I did not get what I wanted for Christmas. It
turns out distribute has been deprecated, and I should have gotten the
"new" setuptools instead. It seems the brilliant minds behind distribute
set up a 'fake' setuptools and deleted pkg_resources. I can't begin to
understand all that. But my upgrade, like so many other things in this
project, has failed. I posted to their mailing list so we'll see what
happens there. I do not have Django or any other accessory up and running.
I did move my install to c:\Python27, and that allowed me to get PIL,
which had failed before, but then GAE decided to insist I use a
python25.dll, which of course caused errors. It seems this is triggered
if the python install is in the default place. How stupid is that?
anyway, I got a patch (not from Google) and my GAE is fine again.
Nevertheless, all this has eaten up a lot of time.
When and if I ever get Django running I'll be back, but I don't expect
to have any Windows problems anymore. Thanks.

Ok, everything went smoothly and beautifully as promised. I got
successful install messages for pip, distribute, virtualenv and
django. So first, thank you both very much.
However, I seem to be stuck again. I am not sure how to get from
my new virtualenv to django, and windows seems just as confused.
When I tried startproject, windows suddenly wanted to know if I
wanted to keep using python to open .py files, or use notepad or
some other program? I said python, and then it hiccuped, like it
was restarting Explorer, and the command line went back to the
prompt with no evidence it executed the startproject command. I
looked in the directory, but saw nothing to indicate there was a
project started. Of course, never having worked with either
django or virtualenv before, I could have missed it. So I tried
again.
access was denied. ____
As before, a dialog window opened asking me what program I
wanted to use. While I was taking a screenshot to save for these
notes, the dialog went away and the cmd line reported back that/C:\Program
Then I tried get_version and was told there was no module named
django, even though just a few lines earlier I was told django
was successfully installed.
Here is that last portion from my command line window:

Just to be clear, I do want to get past this but I also want to
understand what is going on, so if you can do both, that would
be great. Do I need to change directories? Try opening a django
project thrui the django gui? Where / how would I do that?
Everything I have done so far has been thru the windows commandYou received this message because you are subscribed to the Google

Instead of trying to execute django-admin.py directly, explicitly
tell the prompt that you want to use python:
python C:\Path\To\django-admin.py startproject project_sl1
If you have problems with that, try specifying the python
interpreter directly as well:
C:\Path\To\Virtualenv\Scripts\python.exe
C:\Path\To\django-admin.py startproject project_sl1
Also, it might not be an issue right now, but for your own good,
make sure everything related to your project (which includes: the
Python installation, your virtualenv and the project itself) does
not contain any spaces in the pathnames, it might not be an issue
right now, but you'll be glad you did this later.
