Answer 1

You currently define the login URL as:

url(r'^login/$', views.login, template_name, name='login'),

In Django 2.1, this deprecated functionality was removed.

To fix the issue, you can change the line to:

url(r'^login/$', views.LoginView.as_view(template_name=template_name), name='login'),

See the authentication views documentation for more details.
