No, it didn't. get_version() was added in v1.0. > Have a look inside <path to>/site-packages/django/__init__.py to see what is > happening. > > If you are just beginning with django it would be better to start with a > more up-to-date version.

No, it isn't, and 0.96 hasn't been supported in *any* capacity for almost a year. For a year prior to that, it only received critical security updates. There are quite a few very important differences between 0.96 and 1.0 -- if you're just starting out, you *definitely* want to be using a recent release. Django 1.2 is the currently stable supported version; a new stable version (1.3) is due out very soon (hopefully within a couple of weeks).
