Django both installed via python3 and one via apt-get. Can I uninstall apt-get?

  • 772

After spending a while to solve the PyCharm ImportError It's the "Couldn't import Django. It's caused by me both installing django and python with apt-get and python3

Terminal
django-admin --version 
1.11.20

PyCharm IDE
 django-admin --version
2.2.4

I'm aware the 

PYTHONPATH=/path/to/django/parent/dir python
>>> import django

solves the importerror

Do I need to an installation from scratch?

python3 pycharm

    Any package installed with apt-get install can be removed with apt-get remove.

    Add --simulate to check first what will happen before removing the package, try this first:

    sudo apt-get --simulate remove python-django

    If you are happy with the output, remove those packages with:

    sudo apt-get remove python-django

    That will leave you only with the pip version, that normally is more recent than the apt-get one, if something gets wrong, reinstall that version:

    pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall django

    Hope it helps.
