Django Content Management System [duplicate] - python-3.x

Question

My setup is Windows 10, Python 3.7, Apache 2.4/mod_wsgi. When I add this enctype="multipart/form-data" in my form (just by adding this attribute, only -- no files are attached to the form) I get this error when submitting:
Django Version: 1.8.5
Exception Type: RuntimeError
Exception Value: generator raised StopIteration
Exception Location: c:\users\holistic\envs\vitadmin\lib\site-packages\django\http\multipartparser.py in read, line 337
Python Executable: C:\Apache24\bin\httpd.exe
Python Version: 3.7.3
My Django code is this:
elif request.method == "POST":
rid = request.POST.get("recipe", "")
title = request.POST.get("title")
content = request.POST.get("content")
tag_names = request.POST.getlist("tags")
image = request.FILES.get("image")
if rid:
recipe = get_object_or_404(FoodRecipe, pk=rid)
else:
recipe = FoodRecipe.objects.create(title=title)
recipe.content = content
recipe.title = title
if image:
recipe.featured = image
for tn in tag_names:
tag, cr = Tag.objects.get_or_create(
name=tn
)
recipe.tags.add(tag)
recipe.save()
And this is full traceback:

Any ideas what is going wrong?
PS: Same django application worked fine in Linux/Nginx/Gunicorn/Python2.7 setup. So, I guess it must some misconfiguration between Django/Python/Apache.

Your Django is very old and you need to update. This is a Python 3.7 compatibility problem that the Django devs already fixed four years ago, back when it was just a PendingDeprecationWarning on Python 3.5.
In fact, you are on the very last Django version that doesn't have the fix. Even 1.8.6 has the fix.
