Get the version of Django for application

Question

I am starting a new (actually very old) project which I know is in Django. I am getting lost knowing the exact version of Django it has been build upon. Is there a way I can kno

Answer 1

This works in Django 1.7:

import django
django.VERSION

...which yields (on my machine):

(1, 7, 0, 'rc', 3)

Note: It's important that you need to make sure you are running inside a python virtual environment before running this, as otherwise you'd importing the system wide django, not at the project level.
