Inside venv, Django is installed

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation 1 : Even though manage.py is unable to import Django
if we open a python shell, we can import django
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Observation 2 : If we pip install Django outside the venv redundantly
then manage.py will not throw ImportError on any of the manage.py
commands. it will pickup django from there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue : manage.py should get Django from the virtualenv
