Unable to login to admin interface in Django Nonrel

Question

As many people, I can't login to Django (Nonrel) admin interface, and the solution other users have given don't work in my situation. I'm running Python 2.7 and Google App Engine 1.6.0.

Let's see. I have this in my urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', {'template': 'home.html'}),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

And this in settings.py

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'mediagenerator.middleware.MediaMiddleware',
    # This loads the index definitions, so it has to come first
    'autoload.middleware.AutoloadMiddleware',
    # Media middleware has to come first

    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'djangotoolbox',
    'autoload',
    'dbindexer',
    'mediagenerator',

    # djangoappengine should come last, so it can override a few manage.py commands
    'djangoappengine',
)

I created a superuser after uncommenting 'django.contrib.admin' but it doesn't work. I created another superuser manually (via python manage.py createsuperuser), which doesn't work either. However, the weird part is that those superusers are available:

python manage.py shell
>>> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
>>> User.objects.all()
[<User: robert>, <User: john>]
>>> User.objects.all()[0].is_staff
True
>>> User.objects.all()[0].is_superuser
True

And yet, I can't login.

I don't know if it's related, but when a run python manage.py runserver, I get the following exception:

Exception happened during processing of request from ('127.0.0.1', 55568)
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.finish()

    self.wfile.flush()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 303, in flush
    self._sock.sendall(view[write_offset:write_offset+buffer_size])
error: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

Any suggestions?

By the way, I have created superusers without the server running, as David Poblador suggested in this question.

UPDATE: I tried to deploy (python manage.py deploy), but it happens exactly the same. I can't login with any superuser, although other than that, there are no errors.

UPDATE 2: I read a thread that suggested looking at /_ah/admin, but I'm not sure what to do there. I have auth_user, _AhAdminXsrfToken, django_session and a couple of 'tables' in the 'Entity Kind' field in Datastore Viewer. When I select auth_user, I get the following message "Datastore contains no entities of kind "auth_user" in the Empty namespace".

UPDATE 3: Alright, now I'm officially confused. I created another project using django-testapp adding only middleware_classes, autodiscover and django.contrib.admin to enable the admin interface. It loads the 'it works' page but I get that exception. It happens the same when I load localhost/admin. Again, after querying User.objects.all(), I get the correct list of superusers, but they don't work in the login page.

Thanks in advance.

Alright. I partially solved the problem.

I downloaded again each file from djangoappengine, however, this time I used the clone link instead of the direct zip files (the ones that have /get/tip.zip). I modified settings.py and urls.py to enable administration.

After that, I was able to log in to the admin interface. Nonetheless, when I start a request (any request), I get the same Exception described above. That remains to be solved.
