ERROR: Stopping generation because pre_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully

[an-dev]

What happened?

debug [n]: y
  File "/tmp/tmp8xbl07nw.py", line 87
        sys.exit(1)
                   ^
SyntaxError: EOF while scanning triple-quoted string literal
ERROR: Stopping generation because pre_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully
Hook script failed (exit status: 1)

What should've happened instead?

Successfully create django project. I think. Also, had a look at https://github.com/cookiecutter/cookiecutter-django/issues/3681 but the error there is more verbose

Some of your inputs look odd, do they contain some bad characters?

{
  "cookiecutter": {
...
    "description": "\"\"",
    "author_name": "\"\"",
...
    "email": "\"\"@example.com",
...
  }
}

[an-dev]

@browniebroke for description and author_name I added an empty string, so that's probably why the dump looks like that? For email I presume it was just @example.com

[browniebroke]

Did you find out what was the problem in the end? I cannot reproduce on my side, so I'm having little luck here.

One thing that might help is to open the Python file where the error happens ("/tmp/tmpg6mubots.py", line 92 in your original logs) and see what it looks like. I assume the file no longer exists on your system, but if you can reproduce it would give you a new path...
