ImportError: cannot import name RemovedInDjango19Warning

Question

I'm on Django 1.8.7 and I've just installed Django-Allauth by cloning the repo and running pip install in the app's directory in my webapp on the terminal. Now when I run manage.py migrate, I get this error:

➜src git:(master) ✗ python manage.py migrate
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "manage.py", line 8, in <module>

        from django.utils.deprecation import RemovedInDjango19Warning
    ImportError: cannot import name RemovedInDjango19Warning
    ➜  src git:(master) ✗ 

I've checked and I'm still on django 1.8.7 so it wasn't accidently upgraded.

Answer 1

@MaxRah This is caused by conflicts in Django versions. As mentioned by others, you will have to remove pip uninstall django and reinstall your preferred version: pip install django==1.9 This should resolve the issue.

Answer 2

I was getting this error while trying to use cron-jobs on python (using kronos library)

#getting error while trying to run kronos cron job
python manage.py runtask complain

as @ olivrg metioned this fixed the issue (reinstall django in my case i was using version 1.8.X so i upgraded to 1.9X)

sudo pip uninstall django

sudo pip install django==1.9
