That file is telling you what level of code is present in the rest of the files that make up that django tree. Simply changing the number in there doesn't do anything to change the actual level of the code you are running, it just makes the version report inaccurate. The point of looking at django.__file__ was to see where it was coming from, and the answer is you've got the ubuntu 0.96 package installed. If you want to run the level of Django you checked out out of SVN instead of the 0.96 ubuntu level, you can set your PYTHONPATH to point at it explicitly: export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/your/django/checkout in your shell before running manage.py. You might also want to follow the other instructions given by Brett for removing the ubuntu 0.96 package so that if you neglect to set your python path you'll get an error related to not being able to import django at all rather than less obvious errors resulting from a version mismatch between what your code is written for and the actual Django used. You definitely want to do this if you decide to do the next paragraph. Finally, if you want to avoid having to set your python path explicitly, you can actually "install" your checked-out copy by creating a symbolic link to it in your Python site-packages directory, as documented here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/#installing-development-version (You only seem to have gone up through step 2.)
