Hey Vimarsh, Since Django contains no C code, a segmentation fault usually indicates a bug in Python.
Did you search https://code.djangoproject.com/ for similar issues? This error happened on some versions of a popular OS distribution, although it hasn’t been reported in the last few months. If you can’t find anything, please report your OS / Python / sqlite versions. Thanks, -- Aymeric. PS - I’d love it if you said hello to everyone on this mailing list, and not just men.
