cannot import name 'urlquote' from 'django.utils.http'

Question

I am trying to login to the admin portal, however I am getting the below error. Please help I have been searching for solution but nothing

Exception Type: ImportError at /admin/login/ Exception Value: cannot import name 'urlquote' from 'django.utils.http' (C:_project\my-events\env\lib\site-packages\django\utils\http.py)

Answer 1

In Django 4, django.utils.http.urlquote(), urlquote_plus(), urlunquote(), and urlunquote_plus() are deprecated in favor of the functions that they’re aliases for: urllib.parse.quote(), quote_plus(), unquote(), and unquote_plus().

Downgrade to Django 3 to fix your issue. However, if you still want to use Django 4 and above, you can fix the issue by changing the reference of these functions. For your case, add the following to the top of settings.py:

from urllib.parse import quote

django.utils.http.urlquote = quote
