Different versions of django

I have just moved my django application to another server, which I have configured a long time ago, so I'm not really sure what's installed and configured. When running the application, I started getting weird errors, which pointed to running an old version of django. Hence, I decided to check the version.

First, I ran:

python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"

which showed version 1.3.1. So then I did

sudo easy_install --upgrade django

which ran fine, but when running the first command again, it still shows 1.3.1, so I decided to do:

django-admin.py version

and this returned 1.6.5. Therefore, I assume that I have installed the latest django version, but for some reason python is using 1.3.1.

How can I get python to use the latest version of django?

Firstly do not use easy_install but pip:

easy install pip

Try to install/update from pip:

pip install django --upgrade

If it fails, try to uninstall and after réinstall:

pip uninstall django

Be careful if you've installed django with Ubuntu's apt-get. It's a bad thing to mix system and python installers. Uninstall from apt-get if it's the case:

apt-get remove python-django
