I'm not sure, but installation of python-django package may help:

sudo apt-get install python-django

It's a good idea to create django projects in isolated environments, called virtualenvs. To get one type:

sudo apt install python-pip

to get pip. Then:

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv env-name -p python
source env-name/bin/activate

You should be seeing that your prompt has (env-name) in it.

Now you can install django:

pip install django

If you have firther problems refer to django docs.
