A peculiar thing is happening with my Django Manage script.
No changes have been made since yesterday, however 'runserver' stopped working, and returns:
ValueError: illegal environment variable name
If I run other management functions that script works fine, so I get no errors, unless I use the 'runserver'
If I run ./manage on it's own, I get the management command list:
Type 'manage.py help ' for help on a specific subcommand.
Available subcommands:
[auth] changepassword createsuperuser
[contenttypes] remove_stale_contenttypes
[django] check compilemessages createcachetable dbshell diffsettings dumpdata flush inspectdb loaddata makemessages makemigrations migrate sendtestemail shell showmigrations sqlflush sqlmigrate sqlsequencereset squashmigrations startapp startproject test testserver
[sessions] clearsessions
[staticfiles] collectstatic findstatic runserver
The trace :
