django.contrib.auth get_user_model isn't working with monitio app
Question: i have to set up some big project to start working on it, but i don't have
access to its creator, so i have nobody to ask.

This project make use of [monitio app](https://github.com/mpasternak/django-
monitio) to handle notifications.

And i got this error:

    
    
    File "******/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/monitio/models.py", line 1, in <module>
        from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
    ImportError: cannot import name get_user_model
    

I have no idea, why it isn't working, since there is everything installed.
Maybe i miss something related to virtualenv or something. I suppose that
maybe in some weird way monitio has not access to django.contrib.auth or
smthg. Anyway im lost.

Every piece of advice will be appreciated Thanks in advance


Answer: May be its because of your Django version problem,

Which Django version your using?

In requirements.txt of Django-monitio said that they are using django>=1.6.
And also see the other requirements in the requirements.txt
