Being a Python Web framework, Django requires Python. It works with any Python

14 | 14 | incompatibilities in Python 3.0, Django does not currently work with |

You've got three easy options to install Django:
|
74 | 78 | documentation marked **new in development version**. That phrase flags |
75 | 79 | features that are only available in development versions of Django, and |
76 | 80 | they likely won't work with an official release. |
77 | | |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Because Django is "just a Python module", it can be installed just like any |
| 83 | other Python module, by being placed on Python's path. See |
| 84 | `Modifying Python's Search Path`_ for more information. |
