Comment:
If you look at the first line of django-admin.py, you'll see:
#!/usr/bin/env python
Therefore, you're probably not running the python you want. You may even be running python2 depending on your OS / environment.
Try doing the following from your shell:
$ python3 django-admin.py startproject project_name
