[digital envelope routines: EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex] input not initialized

I have proble with login to Django web admin. It produces bellow exception:

ValueError: [digital envelope routines: EVP_MD_CTX_copy_ex] input not initialized

The critical place is
  hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac(digest().name, password, salt, iterations, dklen)
in crypto.py

I tried the same function manually in a Python terminal with the identical arguments:
  hashlib.pbkdf2_hmac('sha256', 'XXXXX', 'XXXXX', 36000, None)
It works OK. But if I call it in the same fashion anywhere in Django project it causes the exception.

Uses versions:
  FreeBSD 10.3
  Apache 2.2.23
  WSGI 4.5.24
  Python 3.6.4
  Django 1.11.10
