Fixing A Wrong Old Version Of django - admin
I ran into a problem where [TODO: Code shorthand span ] wasn't working properly. It kept making projects based on an old version of django.
For example, I setup a project on my mac with :
mkdir django_project
cd django_project
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install django
The results were :
Installing collected packages: sqlparse, pytz, asgiref, django
Successfully installed asgiref-3.2.10 django-3.1.2 pytz-2020.1 sqlparse-0.4.1
So, the expected 3.1.2 version is there. But, when I run :
bash
I get :
bash
It took a while to figure out, but I finally ran [TODO: Code shorthand span ] and got this :
bash
For some reason, the system version of [TODO: Code shorthand span ] was being picked up picking up even though I was inside the venv virtual environment. I have no idea what's going on there, but I deleted that old version and things worked as expected.
bash
Look for those old versions if you're running into a similar problem.
