django-admin --version displays error in virtual environment

After installing Django version 1.9 in a virtual environment using the following command in Windows:

django-admin --version

I receive a long error, ending with:

File "C:\Users\DELL\env\Lib\site-packages\django\db\models\sql\query.py", line 11, in <module>
    from collections import Counter, Iterator, Mapping, OrderedDict
ImportError: cannot import name 'Iterator' from 'collections' (C:\Users\DELL\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\collections\__init__.py)

Python is installed, and the virtual environment was activated.

Django was installed using pip install django==1.9

What should I do to run the command django-admin --version?

You are using a very old version of Django and, as a result, your Python is incompatible with it. Django is trying to import Iterator from a Python module, but it was moved long ago from collections to collections.abc and that is why it gives you the ImportError.

You can either upgrade you Django to the current version or change your Python to below version 3.3

Django 1.9 requires Python 2.7, 3.4, or 3.5..make sure you have installed python version from one of these.. (I have copied the answer that I got)
