Kind of. But of course that depends on what your deployment strategy is. I've worked in situations where the django project was deployed via 'pip install' into a virtualenv, which means the package would have been located in a site-packages directory, and there may have been older versions there too. Plus, using system SSH involves a degree of sysadmin work which might not be possible on a platform like Heroku, for example.
