ModelNotFoundError: No module named 'guardian.shortcuts'

Question

I am trying to run a Django project, I tried to import assign_perm and remove_perm from guardian.shortcuts (code listed here: from guardian.shortcuts import assign_perm, remove_perm).

and got an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'guardian.shortcuts'

I am using python3.8.9 and django2.0.7. I have already successfully tried install guardian(0.2.2) and Django-guardian(2.4.0), and I can import guardian successfully directly. Please help me to figure it out. THX!

P.S. I tried to print(guardian.__file__) and the output is here:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/guardian/__init__.py

Answer 1

emmmm actually I don't know why, I just use pip3 to uninstall guardian and Django-guardian, and reinstall Django-guardian and it worked. and I found that both assign_perm and assign is available for Django-guardian2.4.0, but only remove_perm (rather than remove) is available for this version. If you struggled with this issue and following solutions above still cannot help you can have a try for my solution. Hope this can help you.
