How to check Django version

Question

I have to use Python and Django for our application. So I have two versions of Python, 2.6 and 2.7. Now I have installed Django. I could run the sample application for testing Django successfully. But how do I make sure whether Django uses the 2.6 or 2.7 version and what version of modules Django uses?

Answer 1

The Django version 1.5 supports Python 2.6.5 and later versions of Python.

If you're using Linux and want to check what Python version you're using, then you can run the following command on the command line:-

 python -V 

To check Django version, via Python code, you need to run the following piece of code into your Python console:-

import django

django.VERSION
