I get the error in question when I attempt to create a project. I followed the instructions found at how to install python an django in windows vista.

Most likely you don't have Django on your Python path. To test, quickly fire up Python and run:
>>> import django
If that fails, it's just a matter of getting Django onto your Python path. Either you set the environment variable, or you move django into your python2x/Lib/site-packages directory. If it does work, try importing core. If that fails there, then something is probably wrong with your Django install.

Also make sure that you have permission to access all of django's files. I've seen these kinds of errors happen because of permissions issues before.
EDIT: I haven't tried it out, but there's a link on that page to Instant Django, which looks like a pretty easy to set up.

Word! That Instant Django worked like a charm. I usually shy away from tools that set a bunch of configurations I might need to know how to troubleshoot, but this Instant Django looked clean and professional, and I was about to pull my hair out lol. Thanks so much!

You can get around this problem by providing the full path to your django-admin.py file
python c:\python25\scripts\django-admin.py startproject mysite
