We can use code below to generate SECRET KEY in Django.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from sys import version_info
from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string

chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)'
SECRET_KEY = get_random_string(50, chars)

python3 = version_info[0] > 2
if python3:
    print (SECRET_KEY)
else:
    print SECRET_KEY

or simply install using pip install django-secret-key then run django-secret-key
