When I copy-pasted the error message into Google I got some stackoverflow posts saying that you can get this error if you have two different versions of Django installed; are you certain that your 1.10.2 install is the only one on your system?

had seen those answer's tried to uninstall it twice through pip .
also reinstalled the python 
sure about the 1.10.2 version , the first step in the tutorial is to check version 

not using any virtualenv.
