I can't see how that would help. You would still need to depend on
python3-django.

Alternatives would work for django-admin but probably overkill.

Hmm. Might be possible to replace django-admin (it is small) and make it
use python3-django with Python3 if installed else python-django with
Python2 somehow?

Yes. Moving files around makes me nervous however probably a good idea.

Will do so. Might have to wait until tomorrow now.

I got a error at one stage. Confusing. Probably should remove it and see if
I still get this error.

Thanks for your feedback.
