ImportError: No module named allauth. Django

Question

in a project with django, when I do "python manage.py runserver" I get this error traceback :

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named allauth

I installed allauth using pip3 install allauth. And this is my INSTALLED_APPS :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'music.apps.MusicConfig',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'allauth',
    'allauth.account',
    'allauth.socialaccount',
    'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook',
]

Answer 1

Please make sure you have activated the virtualenv in which you have installed allauth

Answer 2

You have to install django-allauth package. In other words, please run following command.

• in case of using pip

$ pip install django-allauth

• in case of using pipenv

$ pipenv install django-allauth

Answer 3

Are you using the exact same python interpreter to run your Django project that the one you are using to install packages to with pip?

I would recommend using virtualenvto install packages to it, and then using it in your Django project.

One thing that might be happening is that you have multiple interpreters installed on your machine. I.E. Python 2, and Python 3. In that case, do make sure you are pip installing to the same interpreter you are using to run your Django project.

I.E.:

$ pip install allauth

What happens if you do:

$ python
> import allauth
