Syntax of rename command

This is just to keep updated users following your tutorial "Build an E-commerce website with Django" by Matthew Freire on Udemy.
The correct syntax of rename command is

python manage.py rename demo djecommerce

where djecommerce is the desired new project name

rename project doesn't work

I just wanted watching the watch and immediately faced with an issue with renaming the project. I did provide current name and the new name but receiving the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'django_project_boilerplate/settings.py'

Any idea?

Thanks,

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coredjango'

When running python manage.py migrate,i get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'coredjango'error. Any ideas on how to fix this?

`rename` command does not work with pipenv

I used pipenv to start with the project. The rename command does not work. It seems the .env file which pipenv loads have settings which cause the rename command to fail.
