-----------------------------------------+---------------------------------
After updating Django from 3.0.8 to 3.1.0 it became unusable - I cannot
call any manage.py management command in the production environment, where
the user does not have root access and has very limited access to the /usr
directory (it is a managed environment). Normally everything works fine,
as Django projects run within virtual environments. Unfortunately, after
the update, the Django code clearly attempts to access /usr directory
(even though it is running inside of a virtual environment located
elsewhere, within the user home directory. After downgrading back to 3.0.8
everything works fine again.
