Django app stopped working after installing django-graphql-auth

Question

I was working on a Django application with GraphQL.

I installed few required libraries.

Everything seems to be working fine until I installed django-graphql-auth.

Immediately after installing that, I'm getting below error.

Same issue with Python 3.11 as well.

No resolution even after uninstalling the library

Answer 1

Look at the end of the error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'ugettext' from 'django.utils.translation' 

It looks like its something to to with 'ugettext' import.

You could try this steps recomendaded here.

The steps are:

1 - Open settings.py (project folder)

2 - On the top of settings.py type below imports

import django
from django.utils.translation import gettext
django.utils.translation.ugettext = gettext
