Nothing happens when I do: python manage.py command

Question

I\'m new to django and currently going through the main tutorial. Even though it was working earlier, when I do python manage.py runserver OR python manage.py -h OR with any

Answer 1

Another solution, if you can, is to upgrade Django

pip install django --upgrade

Oftentimes one will get other unrelated issues to solve that are linked with the upgrade but once all all fixed the server should run just fine.

If you can't upgrade Django, this problem also happens when the code was built using Python 2.x and you're locally using Python 3.x.

The quicker fix in that case is to uninstall Python 3.x from your machine and make sure Python 2.x was added to the path. I've seen some developers setting up alias in PowerShell to have more than one version in the environment too.
