install django:
sudo apt install python-django python-django-registration python-django-imagekit python-django-tinymce fonts-freefont-ttf libapache2-mod-wsgi

python-django-imagekit comes from https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/python-django-imagekit
python-django-tinymce comes from https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/python-django-tinymce

need fonts-freefont-ttf (to have truetype freesans available for troggle via PIL)
need libapache2-mod-wsgi for apache wsgi support.

On stretch the django 1.10 is no use so get rid of that:
apt remove python3-django python-django python-django-common python-django-doc

Then replace with django 1.7 (Needs to be built for stretch)
apt install python-django python-django-common python-django-doc
apt install python-django-registration python-django-imagekit python-django-tinymce

then hold them to stop them being upgraded by unattended upgrades:
echo "python-django hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "python-django-common hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections
echo "python-django-doc hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

Optimizing server
I've tweaked the apache and mysql settings to make them a bit more suitable for a small machine. Seems to have shaved 200MB or so off the idling footprint.

(just discovered 'ab' for running apache performance tests - handy).

Do the edit to site-packages/django/db/backends/base.py 
to comment out the requirement for mysqlclient >1.3.13 
as we run perfectly happily with Django 2.2.19 & mysqlite 1.3.10
:

version = Database.version_info
#test nobbled by Wookey 2021-04-08 as 1.3.13 is not available on stable
#if version < (1, 3, 13):
#    raise ImproperlyConfigured('mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required; you have %s.' % Database.__version__)
