I thought 500 errors would give a traceback rather than print a 500 response when DEBUG was true.
You appear to be getting the error because some part of your logic is raising an uncaught exception. In order to return the necessary HTTP response (with status code 500) Django looks for a specific template. Defining it will be useful for production, but for testing you want to see the traceback from the error so you know what is going wrong in your logic. regards Steve -- I'm no expert.
