For Python   import sys sys version   For Django  as mentioned by others here    import django django get version     The potential problem with simply checking the version  is that versions get upgraded and so the code can go out of date  You want to make sure that  1 7   lt   1 7 1   lt   1 7 5   lt   1 7 10   A normal string comparison would fail in the last comparison    gt  gt  gt   1 7 5   lt   1 7 10  False   The solution is to use StrictVersion from distutils    gt  gt  gt  from distutils version import StrictVersion  gt  gt  gt  StrictVersion  1 7 5    lt  StrictVersion  1 7 10   True

As you say you have two versions of Python  I assume they are in different virtual environments  e g  venv  or perhaps Conda environments  When you installed Django  it was likely in only one environment  It is possible that you have two different versions of Django  one for each version of python  In from a Unix Mac terminal  you can check your Python version as follows    python --version  If you want to know the source    which python  And to check the version of Django    python -m django --version
