Django Web Development Server Not Working

Question

I'm trying my hands upon Django and just started with this and frankly speaking i'm very beginner at this. Now recently I encountered a problem which is linked to some settings I guess but i'm not able to understand and solve this problem. Whenever I write

python manage.py runserver

on the command line, I get the following error.

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\django-1.9-py3.4.egg\django\contrib\auth\p
assword_validation.py", line 162, in __init__
    common_passwords_lines = gzip.open(password_list_path).read().decode('utf-8'
).splitlines()
  File "C:\Python34\lib\gzip.py", line 52, in open
    binary_file = GzipFile(filename, gz_mode, compresslevel)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\gzip.py", line 181, in __init__
    fileobj = self.myfileobj = builtins.open(filename, mode or 'rb')
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\\Python34\\lib\\site
-packages\\django-1.9-py3.4.egg\\django\\contrib\\auth\\common-passwords.txt.gz'


During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Django 1.9 is not out yet. If you are new to Django, use the latest release, currently 1.8.3.
