django installation

[David Moya]

So i supposedly installed Django because on the terminal, after going through the whole process of installation, it says "Successfully installed Django". However, when i try to run the command: python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())" I get: ImportError: No module named django. What should I do?

[Mike Dewhirst]

Start python

>>> import django
>>> django.get_version()
'1.5.8'
>>>

... in my case

There is no need to install virtualenv to install Django.

While this is technically correct, it is not good advice to give to a newbie. Experienced developers should be encouraging best practice among newcomers, and to be honest there really isn't a good reason *not* to use virtualenv.

Still, the OP's command should have worked.  The most likely problem is that Django was installed to a different python than the one  he gets when he types "python" at the shell.  He does not say how he installed Django, so it is hard to advise.
