When I run my Django Web application with Apache2.4.41 + Python 3.8.1 + Django 3.0.2 + MySQL 8.0.19 on Windows 10 Professional version it throws Value Error at /. set_wakeup_fd only works in main thread.
This issue was a result of regression in Python 3.8 and was fixed in November in later builds of Python. For more details - https://bugs.python.org/issue38563.
Stacktrace of the error is as follows -

Further, this application works very well on local Development Environment using - python manage.py runserver.
Please suggest the next steps to move forward.
The same issue happens on Flask 2.0.0 (pip install --pre flask):
@app.get('/')
async def say_hello():
return {'message': 'Hello!'}
> flask run

signal.set_wakeup_fd(-1)
ValueError: set_wakeup_fd only works in main thread
upgraded to python 3.8.2 , worked fine on my windows server.
release notes https://docs.python.org/release/3.8.2/whatsnew/changelog.html#python-3-8-2-final
issue bpo-34679: fixed asynci.ProactorEventLoop.close() now only calls signal.set_wakeup_fd() in the main thread.
I had to downgrade to Python 3.7 and then it started to work perfectly.
I have exactly the same bug. I opened the issue.
If you want to stay on the current Python version I have found the temporal solution which is to add following lines to asgiref\__init__.py (as it was suggested in issue):
if sys.platform == "win32" and sys.version_info >= (3, 8, 0):
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
Not only Django, but you will also meet this error with Flask since Flask 2.0.0 uses asgiref to support async.
This bug was fixed in Python 3.9, so there are two solutions:
app.py or Django's manager.py:# top of the file
import sys, asyncio
if sys.platform == "win32" and (3, 8, 0) <= sys.version_info < (3, 9, 0):
asyncio.set_event_loop_policy(asyncio.WindowsSelectorEventLoopPolicy())
