Django Admin Login page - Python Crashes

Question

I am trying to login to admin url of the Django post creating superuser through command prompt. After i clicked log in button i am getting "Python has stopped working".

Python Ver: 3.7.0 Django Ver: 3.0

• Step 1: Created website using django-admin command

• Step 2: Using runserver command verified Django Default home page is loading

• Step 3: Tried admin/ post creating super admin users.

• Step 4: Post Login button click, "Python Stopped working" error is displayed.

---

What I tried to solve this issue without any success

1. Verified through shell my created user is active, superadmin, is_staff and all are true

    from django.contrib.auth import authenticate

    u = authenticate(username="username", password="password")

2. Tried adding and removing SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE = False in settings.py

3. Verifed ALLOWED_HOSTS = [] in settings.py

   What should I do to see the admin page?

Answer 1

I had the same problem with python 3.7.0 and Django 3.0 I've solved it by upgrading the python to Python 3.7.6

brew upgrade python3

Then I faced some issues with links and venv and I had to reinstall my venv and Django. So, I hope it helps someone.

Answer 2

I got the same issue with Python 3.7.0 as well. Upgrading to Python 3.8.0 solves this.
