I have installed Django 1.10. I need to import the loafing but not able to import it. I am trying to connect my django app with elasticsearch using Haystack and wanted to build index. The code I want to run is
python manage.py rebuild_index
The error I get is:

from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic
ImportError: cannot import name generic
The main error is:
ImportError: cannot import name generic
loading class has been removed in django 1.9 so that's why you are getting the error. Instead you can use apps class.
>>> from django.apps import apps
EDIT:
generic class is also removed in v1.9 and functionality has been moved to models class and fields class.
>>> from django.contrib.contenttypes.models import ContentType
>>> from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericForeignKey
