Hi

The error message you posted seems pretty explicit: it seems you're
missing some configuration apparently:
--------------------
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Requested setting
DEFAULT_INDEX_TABLESPACE, but settings are not configured. You must
either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call
settings.configure() before accessing settings.
--------------------

If you want to understand how to use django-tables2, I encourage you to read:
https://github.com/jieter/django-tables2/blob/master/README.rst
and the tutorial:
https://django-tables2.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/tutorial.html
The mentioned tutorial is used in our autopkgtests too for the
upcoming version:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/modules/django-tables/blob/debian/master/debian/tests/test-run-py3

You must understand that this is is a django module, it's not
something to use outside of a properly configured django application.

Please let me know if you need more information.
If not, please close this bug.

Thanks
Joseph
