Newly created Pydev Django Project does not include initial package with Settings.py etc

Question

When creating Django Pydev projects in Eclipse the default config package is created automatically with the following structure:

MyApp
    __init__.py
    settings.py
    urls.py
    wsgi.py
manage.py

Today I created a Django Pydev project and those files and initial package were not created.

I have tried several times to create new Django Pydev projects but the the initial structure is not being created.

This problem only just started happening. I have not had the problem prior to today.

Running this on the command line does work:

django-admin.py startproject mysite

The files and project structure are created correctly. So it's just Eclipse and Pydev that fails.

I am using Django 1.4, Pydev 2.5 and Eclipse Indigo 3.7 on Ubuntu 11.1

Answer 1

I had the same issue today but it turned out that it was because my project name was not handled - eg "My Project". The space threw it. Calling the project "MyProject" worked a treat.

From the cmd line it gives the following error - which eclipse is not returning:

c:\django-admin.py startproject "My Project"

Error: "My Project" is not a valid project name. Please use only numbers, letters and underscores.
