You also need to install social-auth-app-django and add social.apps.django_app.default to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file.

As for Dec 03 2016, this library is now deprecated.

You should be using the new social-app-django.

Check out how to use that in this doc: https://github.com/omab/python-social-auth/blob/master/MIGRATING_TO_SOCIAL.md
