Django launching

Using Django
1

Hi everyone. I just recently learned basics of Python and reached theme about Django. According instructions in book with which I’ve learning I sticked at beginning. First I downloaded library of django from command line. Then created especial folder for it in desktop. Then in this folder i created environment. After I created project with command “django-admin startproject myfirst” I tried to check if it works how needed and gave command “python manage.py runserver”. There after typical message I received error. Does anyone say, how I can solve this? Text of error message:After typical message:

Exception in thread django-main-thread:

I looked up solution everywhere, but can’t find. Thanks for help.

Looks like your computer’s name is not in the right encoding.

Not sure if it’s the only way but, on Windows 10 you can tick a “Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support”, box in “Region & Language” - “Administrative” - “Change system locale” - “Region Settings”.

Reboot, and hopefully everything uses UTF-8 ≈everywhere.

Unfortunately, my Windows is 7th, so no such option. But I tried to do it changing code page from command line with command “chcp 65001” but unsuccessful, same error
