Django Rest Framework — no module named rest_frame

Question

I've installed django rest framework using pip install djangorestframework yet I still get this error when I run "python3 manage.py sycndb":

ImportError: No module named 'rest_framework'

I'm using python3, is this my issue?

Answer 1

Yeh for me it was the python version as well ...
much better to use pipenv ...
create a virtual env using using python 3 ...

install pipenv : pip3 install pipenv
create the virtualenv: pipenv --python 3
activate the virtual env: pipenv shell

Answer 2

(I would assume that folks using containers know what they're doing, but here's my two cents)

Let's say you setup your project using cookiecutter-django and enabled the docker container support, be sure to update the pip requirements file with djangorestframework==<x.yy.z> (or whichever python dependency you're trying to install) and re-build the docker images (local and production).

Answer 3

To install it, do the following:

pip install djangorestframework
pip install markdown     
pip install django-filter

We have to check for a few common mistakes:

1. check comma at installed list elements

2. typo errors

Answer 4

On Windows, with PowerShell, I had to close and reopen the console and then reactive the virtual environment.

Answer 5

I've faced the same problem, followed these instructions and it worked for me:

1. python -m pip install --upgrade pip (to upgrade pip)
2. pip3 install djangorestframework

3. Added rest_framework as first app:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       'rest_framework',
       'django.contrib.admin',
       'django.contrib.auth',
       'django.contrib.contenttypes',
       'django.contrib.sessions',
       'django.contrib.messages',
       'django.contrib.staticfiles',
       #apps
       'apps.endpoints',
   ]
   

Answer 6

Try pressing the icon given if you are getting the following error:

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework'"

It will ask you to import the given package, that is rest_framework and run the code again.

This worked for me and trying to solve that error for a couple of days.
