Trying to create a super user for my database:
manage.py createsuperuser Getting a sad recursive message:
Superuser creation skipped due to not running in a TTY. You can run manage.py createsuperuser in your project to create one manually.
Seriously Django? Seriously?
The only information I found for this was the one listed above but it didn't work: Unable to create superuser in django due to not working in TTY
And this other one here, which is basically the same: Can't Create Super User Django

Note that this won't prevent from setting a user as being a superuser from django admin interface. If you want to completely make it impossible to create two superusers, you can add the constraint on the database level directly.
Django-admin.py: It is a Django's command line utility for administrative tasks. Manage.py: It is an automatically created file in each Django project. It is a thin wrapper around the Django-admin.py.
So to test whether current user is superuser you can: if user.is_active and user. is_superuser: ... You can use it in template or pass this to template as variable via context.
If you run
$ python manage.py createsuperuser Superuser creation skipped due to not running in a TTY. You can run manage.py createsuperuser in your project to create one manually. from Git Bash and face the above error message try to append winpty i.e. for example: $ winpty python manage.py createsuperuser Username (leave blank to use '...'):
To be able to run python commands as usual on windows as well what I normally do is appending an alias line to the ~/.profile file i.e.
MINGW64 ~$ cat ~/.profile alias python='winpty python' After doing so, either source the ~/.profile file or simply restart the terminal and the initial command python manage.py createsuperuser should work as expected!
