[FIXED] ImportError: No module named rest_framework_jwt.views

Issue

I am using Ubuntu and Django (Python 2.7.12)

I am trying to run python manage.py migrate but an error shows up:

from rest_framework_jwt.views import obtain_jwt_token
ImportError: No module named rest_framework_jwt.views

I have already installed rest like this:

pip install djangorestframework

Any idea about the error?

Solution

JWT is a separate package, so you need to install it via pip install djangorestframework-jwt.

Note, depending on the version(s) of Python you have installed, you might need to use pip3 instead of pip if you are trying to use this/install it for Python 3.

See the other answer regarding Simple JWT, which replaced JWT in 2019.
