Describe the bug
If you get from part-4 the source final and load in the browser you get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/www/dtwitter/myvenv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/django/core/handlers/exception.py", line 47, in inner
    response = get_response(request)

Fix

The first lines of the file https://github.com/realpython/materials/blob/master/dwitter-part-4/source_code_final/dwitter/views.py#L7 should be:

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

from .forms import DweetForm
from .models import Dweet, Profile

@login_required(login_url='/admin/')
def dashboard(request):
    form = DweetForm(request.POST or None)

In this way automatically if the user is not logged get redirect to the admin for login, maybe there are better ways as it is just a prototype, but a prototype shouldn't crash.

Ouvrez dwitter-part-4/source_code_final/dwitter/views.py et examinez la vue du dashboard autour de l'accès à request.user.profile. Reproduisez la requête du navigateur non authentifiée, puis vérifiez qu'elle redirige vers la page de connexion de l'administrateur au lieu de lever l'exception AnonymousUser.
