   Will it work if I use docker? Because in that case I should run these commands inside a docker container.

     Currently PyCharm doesn’t support Python interpreters inside docker containers. However you can setup a project interpreter inside a docker container via ssh as a remote interpreter as if it would be a VM: https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2015/03/feature-spotlight-python-remote-development-with-pycharm/

   I haven’t had the opportunity to try it out yet, but how does PyCharm cope with DjangoCMS projects? If I create a regular Django project and do DjangoCMS stuff within it, will I run into roadblocks? Would I be better off just treating it like a standard Python project?

   Also, to Bed Pad: Using ZEND means using PHP. Almost anything else is preferable. The things PHP lets people do to code… it’s horrific!

     You can open already existing Django/DjangoCMS project or create a new one either a pure Python or Django project.
     In PyCharm’s settings you can enable/disable Django support for your project.

   Hi Dmitry,
   I’ve just tried to work through the “Creating and managing Django projects” guide.

   The following error occurs at the “Launching the Django server” step:
   django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Application labels aren’t unique, duplicates: admin

   References on the web suggest this is a naming problem.
   http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24319558/how-to-resolve-django-core-exceptions-improperlyconfigured-application-labels

   Does the guide need to be updated with this? Or am I simply making a mistake somewhere?

   Appreciate your thoughts.
   Many thanks,
   John

   Hi Dmitry,

   There seems to be an error in PyCharm.
   “django.contrib.admin” is inserting twice into settings.py – see below. Upon removing the duplicate the app runs as expected. This present after django project creation.

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
   ‘django.contrib.admin’,
   ‘django.contrib.auth’,
   ‘django.contrib.contenttypes’,
   ‘django.contrib.sessions’,
   ‘django.contrib.messages’,
   ‘django.contrib.staticfiles’,
   ‘django.contrib.admin’,
   ‘polls’,
   )

   PyCharm 4.5.4
   Build: #PY-141.2569, built on August 28, 2015.

   Regards,
   John

   Hi

   Has the tutorial been moved again?

   The link in the blog now takes us to the Quick Start Guide….

     Yes, it has been moved from the website to our online help. Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve changed the link.
