This is not the correct answer for the user "postgres" but explicitly adding "localhost" (rather than an empty string) as the host in django's settings.py made the difference for me.

For me it also made the difference just to add host='localhost', now it's working. The other answer saying "run your python script with sudo -u postgres" is not my preferred solution because I want this authentification to happen within the python script, or even be able to run it interactively in a jupyter notebook or iPython.
