execute_manager deprecated in Django 1.4 as part of the project layout refactor and was removed in 1.6 per the deprecation timeline: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/internals/deprecation/#id3
To fix this error you should either install a compatible version of Django for the project or update the manage.py to new style which does not use execute_manager: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/releases/1.4/#updated-default-project-layout-and-manage-py Most likely if your manage.py is not compatible with 1.6 then neither is the rest of the project. You should find the appropriate Django version for the project.

@Mark Lavin explained nicely what the error means and how it arises. I think I’ve just discovered why others may also get this error message so leaving it here for the record.
I’m assuming you’re running this from within a virtual environment.
When starting a new Django project, if you run django-admin startproject <myproject>, you are invoking the global installation of Django. If, as in my case, it comes from a stale repo, it may be an old version – in my case:
>> django-admin --version
>> 1.3.1
If you want to run Django from within a virtual environment, then you need to invoke it with django-admin.py startproject <myproject>. This way, you get a Django project with the version corresponding to your local installation:
>> django-admin.py --version
>> 1.6.6

I was getting this error because I had an old version of django-admin.py in my /usr/local/bin folder and I had forgotten to create a new virtualenv for my new project.
Remember that the steps for a new project should be:
- First create a new virtualenv for your new project:
mkvirtualenv <mynewproj> - Update the Python version for your virtualenv if necessary:
virtualenv --python $(which python3.6) ~/.virtualenvs/<mynewproj> - Then create your Django project folder structure:
django-admin startproject <django project name>
I also deleted my old obsolete /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py because it was created before I discovered the joys of virtualenv.
