You also need to install social-auth-app-django and add social.apps.django_app.default to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file.

As for Dec 03 2016, this library is now deprecated.

You should be using the new social-app-django.

Check out how to use that in this doc: https://github.com/omab/python-social-auth/blob/master/MIGRATING_TO_SOCIAL.md

Try with python manage.py migrate --fake.

@fendyh I do not recomment going back to django-social-out, that codebase was abandoned years ago and it’s very outdated at the memoment. If you stick to python-social-auth==0.2.21, you will have Django 1.7 support.

Ok. You need to have your INSTALLED_APPS like: 'social_django', 'social.apps.django_app.default',
