Python 3.5 with Django 1.8 Create super user?

I have windows 8, python 3.5 and Django version 1.8.2

As suggested on Django documentation I tried to create super user using following code:

python manage.py createsuperuser

When I enter the above command, it prompts me for username, when I enter username it prompts me for email and when I enter email address instead of prompting for password it shows following error.

G:\djangblog\mysite>python manage.py createsuperuser

Username (leave blank to use 'saphal'): admin

Email address: [email protected]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

*I have installed python on E drive and have my work folder on G drive.

This is a known bug in Python and was resolved.

You can either upgrade to the latest 3.5 version; or downgrade to 3.4.3 (the recommended version).
