How to solve SyntaxError on autogenerated manage.py?

I'm following the Django tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/es/1.10/intro/tutorial01/

I've created a "mysite" dummy project (my very first one) and try to test it without altering it.

django-admin startproject mysite
cd mysite
python manage.py runserver

File "manage.py", line 14
) from exc
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I'm getting a SyntaxError on a file that was generated by the system itself. And I seem unable to find anyone else who has gone through the same issue.

I'll add some data of my setup in case it may be of use

$ vpython --version
Python 2.7.12
$ pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from /home/frank/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)
$ python -m django --version
1.10.6

Adding contents of autogenerated manage.py

cat manage.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import os
import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")
    try:
        from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
    except ImportError as exc:
        raise ImportError(
            "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
            "available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you "
            "forget to activate a virtual environment?"
        ) from exc
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

Make sure which python version you connect the django with (Make sure to activate the virtual env if you are using any).

When you install django using just

pip install django 

then you have to run

python manage.py startapp <yourApp name>

else if you have used:

pip3 install django

then you have to run

python3 manage.py startapp <yourapp name>

You can try with python3 manage.py runserver. It works for me.

You should activate your virtual environment. In terminal, source env/bin/activate. Depending on your shell, something like (env) should now be a part of the prompt.

And now runserver should work. No need to delete exc part!
