How to check Django version

Question

I have to use Python and Django for our application and 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 1.5 supports the Python 2.6.5 version and later versions. If you're under Linux and want to check the Python version you're using, run python -V from the command line. If you want to check the Django version, open a Python console and type:-

>>> import django 
>>> django.VERSION 
(2, 0, 0, 'final', 0)
