ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jose'

Question

I am using python-social-auth in my django project to use social platforms for authentication in my project. It all worked well but am getting this error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'jose' This is the whole error:

[05/Apr/2020 14:01:00] "GET /accounts/login/ HTTP/1.1" 200 3058

  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\social_core\backends\utils.py", line 50, in get_backend
    return BACKENDSCACHE[name]
KeyError: 'twitter'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am pretty new to python and can't figure out what the issue is.

Answer 1

Install jose by running:

pip install python-jose>=3.0.0

Answer 2

pip3 install social-auth-core[openidconnect]

python-jose is part of openid connect integration, the requirement is defined in requirements-openidconnect.txt and to install it you need to set the openidconnect extra require.

To mitigate this, add this dependency to your requirements.txt file: social-auth-core[openidconnect] or don't import openidconnect modules.

Answer 3

As explained by Vikas, this is an issue with the package. To solve it out you should just run the following command in your python environment:

pip install social-auth-core
