Django Rest_Framework strange error can't import name SkippError

Question

I just started a project and installed django rest framework, then i have added it in settings.py 's installed apps.

then i run the server, it through me this error:

File "/home/pyking/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/backends/django.py", line 125, in get_package_libraries "trying to load '%s': %s" % (entry[1], e) django.template.library.InvalidTemplateLibrary: Invalid template library specified. ImportError raised when trying to load 'rest_framework.templatetags.rest_framework': cannot import name 'SkipError'

When removing rest_framework from installed apps, the server works nice, but if add rest_framework in settings.py 's installed apps ,it doesn't work, and throw me above error

Note: The project dont have any models, view, serializers file and anything. i new project with new apps,

Can you please tell me why i facing this error?

If there's no missprint - there's some dependencies missing. Create isolated virtualenv and install django and djangorestframework (maybe that's the problem you typed pip install django_rest_framework instead of djangorestframework).
