It is definitely a PATH issue. This may happen if you've installed Django as one user and trying to run your django web app as another one. The best way is to use virtualenv as xyres mentioned in the comments above.

1. Install virtualenv from cmd.exe, run it as an Administrator

   pip install virtualenv

2. Create your own virtual environment

   virtualenv .venv

3. Activate virtual environment on Windows

   .venv/Scripts/activate.bat

4. Or if you're using Linux

   source .venv/bin/activate

5. Now you can install dependencies with pip as a part of your virtual environment

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   pip install django

6. You can exit virtual environment at any moment by typing

   deactivate
