Create a Django project in Visual Studio 2015
Run Visual Studio and
【Start】➡️【New Project...】➡️【Python/Web】➡️【Django Web Project】
Give a Name and click [OK] to create a project.
Then, it will be as below, so if there is no particular change, [Create].
The last time you run it, Firefox will run and the Django screen will open.
Error
- When I execute it after Create, I get an error ** cannot import name patterns ** and cannot execute it. ➡️ Installing patterns with pip doesn't work, so I looked it up and found that the default Django version is Django 1.10, so it didn't work!
Therefore, select [env (right-click)] ➡️ [Install Python Package ..] and select
Entering ** django == 1.8 ** (Linux: pip install django == 1.8) in parentheses will uninstall Django 1.10 and reinstall Django 1.8 again.
