Error in manage.py runserver with Django on windows 8.1

Question

I couldn\'t find this exitcode anywhere but hopefully one of you could help me or let me know if this is a bug in python/Django.

Anyway, first here\'s the stacktrace

Answer 1

In my case it had nothing to do with PATH, there seem to be CHROME_RESTART environment setting with some non-english characters. Poping it from new_environ did the trick:

def restart_with_reloader():
    while True:
        args = [sys.executable] + ['-W%s' % o for o in sys.warnoptions] + sys.argv
        if sys.platform == "win32":
            args = ['"%s"' % arg for arg in args]
        new_environ = os.environ.copy()
        new_environ["RUN_MAIN"] = 'true'

        # This will prevent UnicodeEncodeError
        new_environ.pop("CHROME_RESTART", None)

        exit_code = os.spawnve(os.P_WAIT, sys.executable, args, new_environ)
        if exit_code != 3:
            return exit_code
