Instructions from Django to run under Python don't work.

[Lisa Jennings]

I have been trying for two days to install django with Python 3.4 operating in windows 7.  Everything I try according to your instructions, fails. The command "import django" seems to work but the command "print (django.get_version()) does not. I am trting to get this to work so I can install ESMPY a version of ESMF. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Megan,

It would be helpful to know what "doesn't work" means. Do you get an error message? If so, what is it? If not, do you get *absolutely nothing*, or do you get something, but just not what you expect to get? Does the command return you to the command prompt? 

Without more details about what you're seeing, it's almost impossible to guess the source of the problem you're having.

What syntax errors? Be specific.

That means django is installed properly.

 

but the command "print (django.get_version()) does not.

If you get syntax error for print (django.get_version()), you may be using python 2.

Are you sure that you are using python3??

Can you copy paste whatever is there on your python shell?  It would be easier for everyone to find the answer.  Mine is a guess.
