ImportError while starting django server

[Parth Shah]

Folks,

I was following the tutorial here and was successfully able to install django.

I am using python 2.7.13 on OS X.

I can verify the version number as below:

Macitosh:project user$ python

Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 26 2016, 12:10:39) 

[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> import django

>>> print(django.get_version())

1.10.5

>>>

But when I try to run the version check using a different command I get the below error, and the same error while subsequently starting the server

Parths-Macitosh:project parth$ python -m django --version

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Module "logging.config" does not define a "dictConfig" attribute/class

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Hi,

the --version option of the "python" command shows you the version of Python, not of Django. The -m option doesn't merely import the module you specify, it imports it and executes it, and Django isn't designed to do this. So the way to check its version the one you showed first. If you want to run it with a one-liner, it's this:

python -c 'import django; print(django.get_version())'

It seems like your Python install might be broken. Does this import work in a Python shell:

>>> from logging.config import dictConfig
