Question

I tried to install django 1.4.3 on my windows 7 machine which has Python 3.3 installed.

I used pip install django but got several SyntaxError: invalid syntax messages on installation.

An example would be:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

byte-compiling C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\unittest\case.py to c
se.cpython-33.pyc
  File "C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\unittest\case.py", line 327
    except SkipTest, e:
                   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

byte-compiling C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\unittest\loader.py to
loader.cpython-33.pyc
  File "C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\django\utils\unittest\loader.py", line 92
    except Exception, e:
                    ^

can Django not run with Python 3.3? any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Django 1.5 is the first version of Django to support Python 3.
