I am encountering same issue.

Exception Type: | ModuleNotFoundError Exception Value: | No module named 'social'

I have upgraded to latest version, still same error.

So I tried to install social, but then the process led to an endless series of installs. Each package I installed led to a new missing package. So far I’ve installed the following pip install social pip install splinter pip install networkx pip install gmane pip install lxml pip install numpy

Now the missing package is parsedatetime. I just stopped. But why was this issue closed without any resolution offered? Not even a link or a comment or any such thing.

Finally I got my login working by doing pip install python-social-auth.

The documentation of social-auth-app-django doesn’t even mention such a thing.

@coler-j, @diegotejadav: python-social-auth is the old and deprecated library, by doing that you are using code that’s old and not maintained anymore. The import error is report is very likely caused by settings that still point to the old library instead of the new one, some options to correct this:

1. Update any backend in AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS that still reads social.backends to be social_core.backends
2. Update any SOCIAL setting that points to social.apps.django.* to be social_django.*
