Django rest auth user_logged_in signal

Question

I have a django rest app using django rest auth. I'm trying to log something everytime a user log in using signals.

I've searched on the web on how to use signals and I haven't found any interesting material on how to make it work. I think the problem may be with allauth signals. Is there any problem with the following configuration?

signals.py

import logging

from allauth.account.signals import user_logged_in
from django.dispatch import receiver

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)


@receiver(user_logged_in)
def login_logger(request, user, **kwargs):
    logger.info("{} logged in with {}".format(user.email, request))

apps.py

from django.apps import AppConfig


class UsersConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'users'

    def ready(self):
        import users.signals

__init__.py

default_app_config = 'users.apps.UsersConfig'

Here's how I solved it using djangorestframework-jwt==1.11.0:

settings.py

from django.contrib.auth.signals import user_logged_in

def jwt_response_payload_handler(token, user=None, request=None):
    if user and request:
        user_logged_in.send(sender=user.__class__, request=request, user=user)
    return {
        'token': token,
    }

JWT_AUTH = {
    'JWT_RESPONSE_PAYLOAD_HANDLER': jwt_response_payload_handler,
}

models.py

from django.contrib.auth.signals import user_logged_in

def login_handler(sender, user, request, **kwargs):
    print('logged in')

user_logged_in.connect(login_handler)

It seems that Django Rest Framework doesn't emit user_logged_in signal when token-based authentication is configured: https://github.com/encode/django-rest-framework/issues/3869
