Segmentation fault (core dumped) with django-storages

Question

I'm using Django 2.x and Django-storages to upload files to the S3 Bucket.

While running the sample test from manage.py shell, it gives the following error and terminates the console.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The console log as per the doc.
