Try for this commond:
django-admin startproject mysite
instead of django-admin.py startproject mysite.
Go on to c:/python**/Scripts/ you must find django-admin.py there that fixes your problem use the absolute path.
after years I have to answer this question because the answer is changed for WINDOWS now
python C:\Path\To\Virtualenv\Scripts\django-admin.exe startproject <project_name>
you can use .exe for windows in Scripts folder
Even I faced the same problem. I even tried adding the directory to Environmental variables but it was not working, so I had to use python -m django for it, but it didn't satisfy me, so I did a tricky thing.
Instead of adding the directory to Environmental variables, I copied the installed package and pasted it to the first directory (default directory) in environmental variable and it started working.
I have a easy solution for this. normally download the django-admin file from the web the add it to the python\script folder then add the C:\python\script to the environment variable then try the command i.e django-admin startproject
