I recently faced this issue while running my server using python development server. After reading the answer, I almost was going to switch to nginx. Someone on the web I saw that your can 

python manage.py runserver example.com:8000

you can also put the ip address instead of the host name. This works. I just tested it.

You can start your server with following command:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:12345

Then, the dev server will bind all the possible ip address on your server which is a convenient way for test :)

When you start your server in development mode, it is ONLY available via localhost/127.0.0.1. That said, if you have a port conflict, you can change the port it uses:

python manage.py runserver 12345

And then you can access the development server via:

http://127.0.0.1:12345

It's worth reiterating that the development server will NOT be available from remote hosts, to discourage you from using it in a production environment, which it is not suited for. If you need to be able to access your Django app from a remote host, you need to deploy your application to something like Apache2 with mod_wsgi.
