Running server error: “ImportError: No module named 'django'” in OS - X

Question

I'm attempting to start up my first Django project. I have virtualenv setup and running with Django 1.8.5 installed. When I run pip freeze within my virtualenv I get:

Django==1.8.5  
wheel==0.24.0

I then CD into my project and run python manage.py runserver and get an error:

File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
ImportError: No module named 'django'

I opened up my manage.py file and it contains:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "trydjango18.settings")

    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line

    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

Pip list:

Django (1.8.5)
pip (7.1.2)
setuptools (18.2)
wheel (0.24.0)

I have attempted starting multiple projects, all give the same error. I have tried both with and without virtualenv (Django is also installed globally) to no avail. I've done a lot of research but haven't found any answers that fix my issue.

EDIT When stating up a new virtualenv and running source bin/activate for the first time I get the following message:

/Users/master/Desktop/testdjango/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/_vendor/requests/packages/urllib3/util/ssl_.py:90: InsecurePlatformWarning: A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail.

first ,you can also try this command.

python3 manage.py runserver

According to my experience, I think your trouble caused to some packages miss matching reason.so , It is better check documentation ,If you do every thing correctly. please , check Django official site.

I have lot of experience about work with OS-X. because I work in UBUNTU 14.04.This some example I , installed Django.you can refer it. install Django with mongoDB

I will successfully , install using following tutorials.I recommend you also refer that and reinstall .

=====================Answer to your comment====================

I realize, your computer have Install both python 2.x and python 3.x. Default run python 2.x. when you create virtual environment , default it make it for python 2.x. so , you should specify python version when create virtual environment.As I remember Django 1.8 not support to python 2.x. I think now , you received some answer.
