Hey there, I'm trying to setup a development install of HC and am getting this message on trying to run anything off of manage.py:

(hc-venv) cl@s4:~/webapps/healthchecks$ ./manage.py createsuperuser
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
  File "/home/cl/webapps/hc-venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from django.utils.version import get_version
ImportError: No module named 'django.utils'

Same with ./manage.py runserver etc.

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Thank you.

Hi,

sorry about that -- not quite sure yet why that's happening. Haven't managed to reproduce this yet.

When the virtual environment is activated, what is the output of pip freeze?

What OS & version are you using?

Does /home/cl/webapps/hc-venv/lib/python3.5/site-packages/django/utils/version.py exist?
