Answer 1

Django 1.8 requires Python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, or 3.5.

Answer 2

Django 1.8 does not work on Python 2.6. You need to install Python 2.7 or Python 3.2-3.5. See the FAQ for all supported versions.

Alternatively, if you can't upgrade Python, you can take a look at this unofficial fork of Django 1.6: https://github.com/beanbaginc/django
