Django: What version do I have?

Here's how to see what version of Django you're using:

  • Make sure you're in the virtual environment for your project.
  • At the terminal prompt, open the Python shell:
$ python
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  • In the Python shell, import the Django module and check the version:
>>> import django
>>> django.__version__
'2.2.9'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Edit: User @biplov pointed out that there's an even easier way to see your Django version right from your terminal prompt:

$ django-admin --version 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Was this helpful? Did I save you some time?

You can also use the following terminal commands to check Django version:

$ django-admin --version 

or

$ django-admin.py version

Do you use Anaconda? What about Jupyter Notebooks?
