Unable to import TokenObtainPairView,TokenRefreshView from JWT

Question

I want to use Json Web token authentication.

but when I import, it gives me error of no reference of TokenObtainPairView, TokenRefreshView, found, however I installed jwt.

urls.py:

   from django.contrib import admin
   from django.urls import path
   from rest_framework_jwt.views import (
     TokenObtainPairView,
     TokenRefreshView,
   )
    from django.conf.urls import url,include

   urlpatterns = [
       path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
       path('api/token/', TokenObtainPairView.as_view(), 
       name='token_obtain_pair'),
       path('api/token/refresh/', TokenRefreshView.as_view(), 
       name='token_refresh'),
       url(r'^auth/', include('authsystem.urls'))

Settings.py:

        REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
),
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework_simplejwt.authentication.JWTAuthentication',
    'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
),

}

when I do pip freeze I have the packages:

           Django==2.2.4
           django-cors-headers==3.1.0
           djangorestframework==3.10.2
           djangorestframework-jwt==1.11.0
           djangorestframework-simplejwt==4.3.0
           Pillow==6.1.0
           PyJWT==1.7.1
           pytz==2019.2
           sqlparse==0.3.0

I have tried to import from different way but still it giving me cannot find reference.

You imported it from the wrong framework, you need to import it from the rest_framework_simplejwt.views module, not the rest_framework_jwt.views module:

from rest_framework_simplejwt.views import (
    TokenObtainPairView,
    TokenRefreshView,
)

Is there a specific reason why you installed both djangorestframework-jwt and djangorestframework-simplejwt?
