Yes, it does.

Pip will respect the supported version metadata of the package. There's no package available for the Django

and Python version constraints you provided.

Instead of getting a non-nonsensical SyntaxError crash when trying to run Django on Python 3.5 pip prevents

you from shooting yourself in the foot in the first place.

Thank you. I didn't know that pip is that "smart" to check the version of Python I'm using. Good to know.
