Hi, Given you are using python 2.7, I suppose that you are using Django < 1.11. It seems like you either didn’t add the `django.contrib.auth` app to your `INSTALLED_APPS` ( https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/auth/#installation) or haven’t ran the `./manage.py migrate` command.
Hope this help. Regards — Arthur On January 28, 2019 at 3:29:47 PM, El_merendero (carlopole...@gmail.com) wrote: Hi all, I'm developing a Django application for Windows with Pyhton 2.7.15. I need to implement an authentication mechanism with Django REST Framework JWT <https://getblimp.github.io/django-rest-framework-jwt/> where I simply need to verify a token (and not to generate it).
