django-admin startproject在OS X上无法与python3一起使用

Question

I have python3 installed with Django 1.8.2 on Mac OS. There is also python 2.7 installed by default with the OS. When trying to run startproject I get -

$ django-admin startproject mysite
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/django-admin", line 7, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named django.core.management

It is likely defaulting to the system's python 2.7 which does not have django. How do I force it to use python3? I tried aliasing python to python3 in the shell but that didn't work either.

Recommended: Try using virtualenv and initiate your environment with Python3.

Or a quicker solution is to use python interpreter directly to execute django-admin:

<path-to-python3>/python /usr/local/bin/django-admin startproject mysite
