Django allauth和ImportError

Question

I've just done this introductions, and when I'm trying

./manage.py migrate

I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./manage.py", line 10, in <module>

from django.utils import importlib
ImportError: cannot import name importlib

I have Django 1.9.2 I have latest version of importlib Any ideas?

Answer 1

django.utils.importlib was deprecated in Django 1.7 and removed in Django 1.9.

Since the error is occurring in allauth, you should upgrade django-allauth to the latest version. According to the changelog , version 0.24.0 should support Django 1.9.

Answer 2

change your

from django.utils import importlib

to:

from importlib import import_module
