When I run the Command "manage.py runserver" on the command prompt(WINDOWS), I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I think the problem is incompatibility between django version and python version.

Install python 3.7 with the latest version of Django 

Then try.

It's a shame to use python2 still now. Try to start your django project with virtualenvironment with python-3 version.
Try to follow the standard way to get start. Everything will be fine.

Did you use "python manage.py runserver" or just "manage.py runserver"?

[Ashok Rai]

You better try using python 3

First, work on python environment and then continue your job
