It seems you have more than one version of Python on your computer. Try and remove one and leave the only version you used to develop your application.

I had same problem and could solve it. It is related to the version of Django you've installed, some of them are not supported by python 2.7. If you have installed Django with pip, it means that you are installing the latest version of that which probably is not supported in python 2.7, You can get more information about it here. I would suggest to python 3 or specify the version of Django during installing (which is 1.11 for python 2.7).

I solved same situation.

INSTALLED VERSION

python 3.6, django 2.1

I installed Node.js in Windows 10. After python manage.py runserver caused error.

ERROR

File "manage.py", line 14

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

REASON

My python path changed to python-2.7 from python-3.6. (3.6 is correct in my PC.)

SOLUTION

Fix python path.

Answer 4

We have to create a virtual environment inside the project, not outside the project.. Then it will solve..

Answer 5

I landed on the same exact exception because I forgot to activate the virtual environment.

Answer 6

You can try with python3 manage.py runserver. It works for me.
