'module' object has no attribute 'oauth2'

[Alisa007]

First of all. Thank you! This app would be very helpful if I could manage to make it work.
I try to add OAuth2 authentication scheme to Django rest framework. I'm following the documentation: http://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/authentication It states that 'provider.oauth2' shall be added to INSTALLED_APPS. However, if I do that I keep getting the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/user/s/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 114, in create
cls = getattr(mod, cls_name)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'oauth2'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/user/PycharmProjects/s/manage.py", line 10, in
execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)

Process finished with exit code 1

Which version of Django are you using? 1.7?

I'm having the same error, I confirm be using Django 1.7 (with Python 3.4 too)

I think this is running into this Django issue, and according to this comment, the documentation on app_label indicates that the fix is simply including an app_label on models defined in nested apps.

It looks like PR #93 is going to fix this in commit 4a5ba08. Hopefully CaffeineHit wakes up and merges the PR soon.

Is there a work around for this?

[blag]

CaffeineHit appears to be completely dead, so this repository is no longer being updated.

So no, there is no workaround for this. If you can switch to a different OAuth 2 provider, you can use Django Oauth Toolkit.

There are forks that are still developed - I suggest either @mapmyfitness's fork or @glassresistor's fork.

I have the same issue and i not use Django

@dbritos: If you're sure you're not using Django, you may get that error if you are trying to use the python-oauth2 library instead, since there is an unfortunate module name collision between that project and this one.
