Hello, I have successfully install Django 1.11.22. However, I believe something is wrong because I cannot get the command that lists its version to work, in addition the manage.py help command also produces the same error. Here is the error.

$ pip install Django==1.11.22

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

Help would be appreciated. Also, what is odd is that if I enter the python console, I can import django and print out the version.

Thanks,

Tom

hi Tom,

Not sure what exactly configuration you have, but text you sent says you have python 2.7 and somehow a virtual environment (venv) is mentioned in the stacktrace.

I don't use python 2.7, so my following suggestions considers a recent version.

May i suggest you to check djangogirls for proper installation.

Also:

good luck.
