Not able to start `django` project in local as well as in docker

Question

I am using Docker to deploy Python2.7 application with Django1.8. I am facing some issue from last two days and I found error as below.

Docker Image: python:2.7-slim-buster

Error:

Django-appconf version 1.0.4 only supports Django 1.11 and up and Python 3.5 and up. (https://github.com/django-compressor/django-appconf/blob/v1.0.4/setup.py). You need to downgrade to at least version 1.0.2 (supports Python 2.6+, doesn't say which django version: https://github.com/django-compressor/django-appconf/blob/v1.0.2/setup.py)
