does anyone have an idea what is going on ? or how to fix it

The problem is with your logging configuration in settings.py.

If you do not care about logging at the moment, you can delete the entire section that looks like this:

LOGGING = {
...
...
...
}

or replace it with this default example from the django docs site:
