Comment (by sanak):

 From googling a bit, Django 3 seems to drop the
 {{{python_2_unicode_compatible}}} method.
 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/#removed-private-
 python-2-compatibility-apis

 And EOxServer seems to limit {{{django<3}}} in the latest 1.1.2.

 So, I guess that sticking Django < 3 (2.2.28 seems to be the latest) may
 be a workaround for this issue.
 https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/releases/#id4

 Other Django dependency's GeoNode also seems to need Django 2.2.24+ in
 3.3.x branch.
