I am following https://pypi.org/project/djangorestframework-sso/ tutorial for sso authentication in django, In first step they added 'rest_framework_sso' in INSTALLED_APPSin settings.py without installing any such library. When I tried to do the same I got:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework_sso'
Then I tried pip/pip3 install 'rest_framework_sso' but I got:
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement rest_framework_sso (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for rest_framework_sso
Then I installed django rest framework but it still is not working.
I want to know why is it not working and how can I solve this, I didn't find anything that can help me related to this.
(For the wiki-aspect, I'll write down a proper answer in case someone comes by the question later)
We have to differentiate between two things here: The name of the package on Pypi, which is what you have to use with pip, and the name of the python module that is provided in that package.
For the django rest framework SSO package, the Pypi package name currently is djangorestframework-sso, so that has to be used with pip
pip install djangorestframework-sso
However, the python module that this allows you to use is named rest_framework_sso, so when adding this to the INSTALLED_APPS or using it in any other way in python, you need to use this name, as demonstrated in the documentation:
from rest_framework_sso.views import obtain_session_token
# go on to use obtain_session_token
If you wonder, there is a questions about why this is the case
