Django Install Error: " SyntaxError: future feature unicode_literals is not defined "

[Byron Price]

I am new to programming in general and I am struggling to install Django.  I downloaded the gar file, unzipped it and then attempted to do the " sudo python setup.py install " command in the terminal (I'm working on a Mac OS X 10.5.8) but was given the following message : 

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "setup.py", line 80, in <module>

    version = __import__('django').get_version()

  File "/Users/byronprice/Downloads/Django-1.6.1/django/__init__.py", line 6, in get_version

    from django.utils.version import get_version

  File "/Users/byronprice/Downloads/Django-1.6.1/django/utils/version.py", line 1

    from __future__ import unicode_literals

SyntaxError: future feature unicode_literals is not defined

I imagine unicode_literals is part of the Python library and that perhaps in version 3.3 the name was changed to something slightly different.  Does anyone have any ideas??

What's the version of python you are using? Django 1.5 has dropped support for Python 2.5 (see here and here). Here is another similar problem with OSX.

I have Python 3.3.2 running and I'm trying to download Django-1.6.1

Hi,

Given the error it looks like you weren’t using python 3.3

For the record, I’m running on osx (10.9), using python 3.3.3 I had no issue with this import.

Regards,

Xavier Ordoquy.
