ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'allauth'

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'allauth'

TL;DR: the distribution is called django-allauth. Run pip install django-allauth and the import works.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'allauth'

The fix

pip install django-allauth

Then follow the docs to add allauth apps to INSTALLED_APPS and wire the URLs.

Verify:

python -c "import allauth; print('ok')"

Expected output: ok.

When this applies

• Adding social or email login to a Django project.
• Fresh virtualenvs, Docker builds, or CI runners.
• You ran pip install allauth and it did not help.

When it does NOT apply

• Provider configuration errors after the import works.
• No module named 'allauth.account', which can mean INSTALLED_APPS is misconfigured rather than the package missing.

Why this happens

Same distribution-name versus import-name split as the rest of the Django ecosystem: pip needs django-allauth, Python imports allauth. The docs' installation section is authoritative; the bare allauth name on PyPI is not this project.

Compatibility

django-allauth 65+ (0.6x line) with Django 4.x/5.x. The 65.x releases renamed some settings; check the changelog when upgrading across majors.

The module is allauth but the distribution is django-allauth, so pip install allauth grabs the wrong thing or fails. The django-allauth documentation's installation page gives pip install django-allauth as the command. Every Django project adding social login hits this the first time, since the import name gives no hint of the distribution name.
