Courses Plus Student 8,944 PointsCant run manage.py with python3
Hello all,
Im having this small problem. I cant run my server (or manage.py commands) with python 3 which I know the tutorials here on Treehouse are based of. Would you think is the problem?
This is the error I get:
(elearn) ➜ learning_site python3 manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named 'django'

Courses Plus Student 8,944 PointsZiga Pregelj So this was my problem:
Because I have Python 2.7 also installled in my computer. I thought that when I got into Virtual Env using
$ python3 virtualenv <myvenv>
I was getting an error and could've access to Python 3. But when I went to the site you recommended me django girls I read that the only way to do it is with:
$ python3 -m venv <myvenv>
Thanks alot for your help!

18,126 PointsI had the same problem, i think the solution was to install django (pip install Django) to the same folder where my virtual environment is (mkvirtualenv)... anyway found this if you find it useful http://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/django_installation/,
remeber that you need install virtual env before you install django and i think that django must be installed to that folder to work propely.

18,126 PointsIm not running it with workspaces, but on windows command promt the command is:
python manage.py runserver 8000
It is easier for me to do everything with PYCharm IDE and cmd... Workspaces are a little buggy sometimes.
