The same here, a couple of win10 machines without HOMEDRIVE :(.
Any hints for a rookie python programmer;)?

Fix which can be added to the settings.py file on line 60. This happens when executing as a service or network account without a full environment variable stack. This fix will assume the default c:\ as the HOMEDRIVE. If OP could commit to master, you wont have to patch manually.

if 'HOMEDRIVE' not in os.environ:
os.environ['HOMEDRIVE'} = 'c:\'

Same issue in a cmd, run as administrator on Windows XP (32bits)

Yep it's normal on Windows XP this env variable doesn't exist. So it's your profile file is not correctly configured
