Answer 1

My pip version was old, really old. 1.5.6 When I installed my virtual environment it just worked, so I didn't question. Lesson learned! Here is what I did in case it helps someone else...

In the virtual environment, I installed pip as described in the docs: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing.html python get-pip.py This upgraded me to pip 6.1.1

pip install django-filter
pip freeze > requirements.txt

Reading requirements.txt showed I had

django-filter==0.9.2
django-filters==0.1.0

So I uninstalled the older version with pip uninstall django-filters

notice the s on the older version but not on the new one

Really basic stuff but it really tripped me up. Thanks to anyone who took time to look into this!
