Answer 1

There is one possibility : you have two django dir in lib folder . one is django1.3.1 and other may be django 1.6.1 or higher version:

if you have then remove it anyone which is not required for your application.

Answer 2

FormWizard is no longer used. From the Django 1.4 release notes:

The previous FormWizard from django.contrib.formtools has been replaced with a new implementation based on the class-based views introduced in Django 1.3. It features a pluggable storage API and doesn’t require the wizard to pass around hidden fields for every previous step.

See the form wizard docs for more information.
