[Fixed]-Python from django.contrib.auth.views import logout ImportError: cannot import name 'logout'

ImportError: cannot import name 'login' from 'django.contrib.auth.views'

I had this error and looked up for a solution found it here. Remove views from import

Works for me in Python 3.7 and Django 2.2. No need to downgrade to Django 2.0.4(as LTS is in 2.2)

It was this one that caused me the error.

from django.contrib.auth.views import login

Had to change it to

from django.contrib.auth import login

Worked for logout too.

settings.py

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/'

urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib.auth.views import LogoutView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^logout$', LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
]

it’s work for me on django 3.0.x

this is for django 2.x, docs

from django.contrib.auth import logout

def logout_view(request):
    logout(request)
    # Redirect to a success page.

This is the code I added to urls.py to get login working:

def my_logout(request):
    logout(request)
    return redirect('index')

along with urlpatterns:

path('logout/', my_logout, name="logout"),

Works for me in Python 2.7, Django 2.1.5!

In the latest version of Django (django == 3.2.4) the import should be the following

from django.contrb.auth.views import LogoutView

Pyhton is very case sensitive… make sure your code lines up with proper whitespace. I go this error and make functions created in views.py were not aligned
