Thanks, this is something so simple (and could have taken a while), I’m glad you said it nice and concisely! Reply
Your page came up as the first in a Google search for this information (“how to find django version”). Thanks for sharing/documenting this information. Reply
You’d be better off using: import django django.get_version() This parses the version number properly and if you’re using a SVN checkout, will display the commit id as well. Reply
yes django.get_version() is a lot friendlier >>> import django >>> django.VERSION (1, 2, 3, ‘final’, 0) >>> django.get_version() ‘1.2.3’ >>> Reply
first type in “python” in cmd! then “import django”, and then “django.VERSION” :))) I had some problems untill I figure it out you must type in “python” …Sry I’m a newbie! Reply

yes

>>> import django
>>> django.VERSION
(1, 2, 3, ‘final’, 0)
>>> django.get_version()
‘1.2.3’
>>>
manage.py –version also seems to do the trick.
thanks 🙂
