I can't run server via "python manage.py runserver"

Question

I want to run my virtual env. via "python manage.py runserver" but always get this message:

"RuntimeError: __class__ not set defining 'AbstractBaseUser' as <class 'django.contrib.auth.base_user.abstractbaseuser'="">. Was __classcell__ propagated to type.__new__?"

Does anyone know what causes this problem?

I'm using Django 1.10 and Python 3.5.8

Thanks in advance, Chris

did you "activate" your virtual environment? Something like `$ source env/bin/activate` — Red Cricket, Mar 23 '20 at 21:45

@ChristopherWippel where did you placed your `virtual environment` folder? Are you activating it on the right place? — Elias Prado, Mar 23 '20 at 23:25
@EliasPrado its on my Desktop. This worked in the past just fine. The link provided above does not help with my problem. — Christopher Wippel, Mar 24 '20 at 11:05

Hi, this is exactly how i did it, but did not work. Today i tried it with Python 3.7 and it worked fine. I will go with that solution for now. But thank you for your support. – Christopher Wippel Mar 29 '20 at 15:36
which solution? – Elias Prado Mar 29 '20 at 23:47
It looks like the problem only appears by using python 3.5.8 so i upgraded to 3.7 and it works. I haven't found out why i got the error with V 3.5 but so don't have found a solution for this particular problem. – Christopher Wippel Mar 30 '20 at 18:06
