I had my Django app for a long time now and just a few minutes ago when I was trying to get django-github-hook my site seemed to go kablooie because after following the steps when I still didn't see any place in my django admin to add webhook, I stupidly tried throwing the word --upgrade in my pip install command. (By the way earlier I had run pip install --user django-github-hook and it did seem to successfully install in my console. I just thought I'd try it in the folder with manage.py without --user on the off chance Django was separate. Super dumb, I know now.)

I have the bash console showing what happened and it seemed it triggered it to uninstall Django. I'll paste the console record below this.

I did back up my files so I could rebuild it all, I think, but any way to put the Django 1.3.7 back? I'd be happy if you could simply rewind my entire account a few hours? My attempt at adding django-github-hook was just an experiment. I'd prefer just having a working site again if at all possible.

Thanks in advance for any advice anyone can offer.

We can't easily rewind your account, but you can probably fix the problem by going to .local/lib/python2.7/site-packages inside your home directory, and removing the Django install files -- probably just a directory called django and maybe a Django-1.8.5.dist-info one too.

Giles, you were spot on once again. I just deleted those two directories and hit the big green Reload button under the Web tab, and it is back like it it never happened.

(Well with one exception. Now I do see a place to add webhooks in the Django console admin. Weird. I don't know why it wasn't there before when I expected it. Maybe I rushed looking or cache was an issue. Anyhoo...)

Thanks so much for saving me the effort of rebuilding things.

Cool, glad I could help :-)
