I beleive This is a known bug in Eclipse Pydev.

https://www.brainwy.com/tracker/PyDev

Fixed for 5.6

Git: 2c8cd03 2017-03-12 Fabio Zadrozny #PyDev-752: Django version not
detected if > 1.10

And a fix has been posted for it.

You could try start a python shell as normal, then:

import sys; print('%s %s' % (sys.executable or sys.platform, sys.version))
import os; os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = '<Project Name>.settings'; import django
sys.path.append(os.path.expanduser('<path to your project>'))
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()

Replace ‘Project Name’ with your project name and ‘path to your project’ with your path

alternatively, use a pre 1.10 version of Django i.e 1.7
