Can't start test server with python django

Question

I'm new to the Django framework and just trying to create a basic website, but when I try to open the server with the python manage.py runserver I get this error:

Are you following a tutorial? If so, please share it with us. There may be a problem with your python installation. Please delete all python installations on your computer and install the latest version. Then create django project again.
