As you can see django imports without complaint. Note that I installed django from pip3 so that I would be getting the python3 version.
I'm giving django + python one last shot for web development. I tried this about a year ago and I ran into more problems than I care to think about. And even if I had gotten everything working it was more trouble to setup a single django project an entire LAMP stack. If I can't get python + django going good for web development this time I think I'll drop it and return to php, but I'm hoping you all can help me to not have to do that. Thanks.

I have had many problems with django. This particular problem was solved by walking away from my computer for a while. I came back and ran the same command and it worked, I didn't change a thing. I have no idea, go figure.
