Django：django-admin startproject ImportError

Question

I have two Python VE's one in which I created a Django project that is located on the Desktop. I recently created another VE to start another Django project. However, when I run django-admin startproject projectname within the new VE, I get an ImportError saying that the other Django app couldn't be imported.

What would be trying to import my old app? Why would this be happening?

I am running Django 1.9 on Debian 8.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lie/.virtualenvs/tagger/bin/django-admin", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(execute_from_command_line())

I found there was an Environment Variable called DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE .

I just unset it: export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE="" . and I was able to start a new project.
