ImportError: cannot import name 'ugettext_lazy' from 'django.utils.translation'

Question

I imported from rest_auth.views import LoginView and I am trying to implement login API I never import ugettext_lazy directly.

from rest_auth.views import LoginView
from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, logout
from .serializers import LoginUserSerializer

class Login(LoginView):
    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        serializer = LoginUserSerializer(data=request.data)
        serializer.is_valid(raise_exception=True)
        user = serializer.validated_data['user']
        login(request, user)
        return super().post(request, format=None)

I received this Error:

File "filePath\ProjectName\app1\urls.py", line 4, in <module> from .login
import Login 
File "filePath\ProjectName\app1\login.py", line 1, in <module> from
rest_auth.views import LoginView  
File "\myenv\lib\site-packages\rest_auth\views.py", line 9, in <module>
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ ImportError:
cannot import name 'ugettext_lazy' from 'django.utils.translation' (\myenv\lib\site-packages\django\utils\translation\__init__.py)

I read the other answers and most of the answers suggested downgrading from Django version 4 to 3.

Are there any other ways to fix this problem or any other suggestions to implement login API?

Answer 1

pip is installing django 4 by default, and django-user-session doesn't seems to be compatible with Django 4.0 which does not have ugettext_lazy

You can fix the issue by downgrading the version of django to 3.2 until 4.0 is properly supported.

pip install django==3.2 

This is a temporary workaround for the issue.

Answer 2

ugettext_lazy has been removed in Django 4. I am used gettext_lazy instead: from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _
