cannot import name 'message_from_file'

When I try adding 'django_rest_passwordreset' to django apps, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 28, in <module>
    from django.core.management import execute_from_command_line
  File "/home/giovanni/git/ozzy-backend/venv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

    from email import message_from_file
ImportError: cannot import name 'message_from_file'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 34, in <module>
    ) from exc
ImportError: Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you forget to activate a virtual environment?

And removing it my app runs fine. Can you help me with this issue? This has something to do with the email package?

Django: 2.1.2 Python: 3.6 Using virtualenv.

@giovannicimolin @saurabhaec Do you happen to have a file called “email.py” (or a folder called “email”) somewhere within your project?
