DJANGO: No module named social_auth.backends.contrib.github

I had this error when I tried to sign in using github auth backend

No module named social_auth.backends.contrib.github

settings.py 

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'social_auth.backends.contrib.github.GithubBackend',
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
)
Solution

  • It should be 

    AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'social.backends.github.GithubOAuth2',
)
