I am trying to hit an API that is of POST type, it generates access and refresh tokens which can be used to access other APIs. It takes the username and password in the body, which we generate while creating a superuser (admin) in Django.
This is the detailed error I'm encountering while hitting the API in Postman:
Internal Server Error: /api/token/

I'm confused what to do, are some DLL files missing from my computer? These are some things which I've tried doing, but none worked:
Ideally, it should have returned the refresh and access tokens in response.
Upgrading python resolved this
