Django

[Jasper Frumau]

I found:

*On Unix-like systems, create a symbolic link to the file
django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py in a directory on your system path,
such as /usr/local/bin. For example:

ln -s `pwd`/django-trunk/django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin

This simply lets you type django-admin.py from within any directory, rather
than having to qualify the command with the full path to the file.*

@ http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#topics-install

So I guess I might have to create a symbolic links so I can run the command
for Django admin from anywhere, correct?
