✅

To use Django with python social auth, you need to install the Django app as well.

You can specify that you want to install the extra requirements for Django when you install python-social-auth:

pip install python-social-auth[django]

Or, in this case, you can install the missing package individually:

pip install social-auth-app-django

Probably you should use pip 3:

pip3 install social-auth-app-django

If you are using pipenv like me don’t forget to enter the shell and then install (I forgot to do so and it caused similar errors):

pipenv shell
pipenv install python-social-auth-app-django

then add social_django to install apps

I understand this wasn’t the original question but hope it helps.
