Comment (by tytusd):
Hi Carlton, thanks for looking into this. I have just been hit by this
problem in all of my Django-based projects (as I host all of them in
similarly set up environments). It looks like its clearly a regression -
everything works fine with Django==3.0.8. I created a ticket #31945
(https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31945) with my stack trace clearly
showing the regression (sorry I did not find this ticket before submitting
mine..) - please take a look. There is no way to give the user running the
website full access to entire '/usr' directory (server admins won't agree,
it is a managed environment). And I do not see any reason why would this
be needed? The project is set up inside of user's home dir, similarly the
virtual environment is inside of the user's home directory.
What has changed between 3.0.8 and 3.1.0 that this problem started
occuring?
This issue prevents me from updating Django version in all of my projects.
I would really appreciate if some fix could be considered.

permissions are just set wrong (too strict).
