Somehow, my understanding is: 1. python-django is byte-compiled using one specific Python interpreter and 2. what is the guarantee that the whole code byte-compiled with different Python interpreter will run? Hence, that version of the specific Python interpreter is encoded. Now, if the purpose of ’django-admin startproject foobar’ is to only create generic configuration that does not depends on any Django or Python version, then maybe it could be considered as wrong. :-) Else I don’t know. I remember having a similar discussion about a similar Python tool but I am not able to find it back. Cheers, simon
