No curso recomenda a utilização da versão 3.3 (no máximo). No site tem lá:
Release Date: 2017-09-19
Python 3.3.x has reached end-of-life. This is its final release. It is a security-fix source-only release.
Python 3.3.0 was released on 2012-09-29 and has been in security-fix-only mode since 2014-03-08. Per Python Development policy, all support for the 3.3 series of releases ended on 2017-09-29, five years after the initial release. This release, Python 3.3.7, was the final release for the 3.3 series.
After 2017-09-29, we no longer accept bug reports nor provide fixes of any kind for Python 3.3.x (third-party distributors of Python 3.3.x may choose to offer their own extended support). Because 3.3.x has long been in security-fix mode, 3.3.7 may no longer build correctly on all current operating system releases and some tests may fail. If you are still using Python 3.3.x, we strongly encourage you to upgrade to a more recent, fully supported version of Python 3; see https://www.python.org/downloads/.
Sobre a versão do Django é só ler isso https://www.djangoproject.com/download/
Acho muito ruim fazer um curso e ter que ler a documentação para saber as diferenças entre a versão ensinada e a verão recomendada pelos desenvolvedores para um ambiente de produção.Por que eu e todos os demais alunos temos que ter esse trabalho e o Alura não pode atualizar o curso?
