[Python] Django Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'testserver'. You may need to add u'testserver' to...

I started learning Django, I'm in the middle of implementing "Test a view" functionality. When I use test Client in the shell, the exception has occurred as follows.

Invalid HTTP_HOST header: 'testserver'. You may need to add u'testserver' to ALLOWED_HOSTS.
​

I run the command in the shell as follows.

>>> from django.test.utils import setup_test_environment
>>> setup_test_environment()
>>> from django.test import Client
>>> client = Client()
>>> response = client.get('/')
>>> response.status_code
400


In the tutorial, 404 should be appeared, but I get 400. When I continue running the command as follows, same exception has occurred.

>>> response = client.get(reverse('polls:index'))
>>> response.status_code
400


but the result must be 200.I guess I should declare ALLOWED_HOSTS in the settings.py, but how can I? I run the server on localhost using $python manage.py runserver.

I wanna know the reason and solution.

Here is settings.py as follows.

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
