It looks like you are using djorm_pgtrgm. It hasn't been updated for two years, so you can't expect it to work with recent versions of Django.

This merged pull request suggests that the import error has been fixed in the GitHub repo, but there hasn't been a release since then. You could try installing from source, but you should think about whether you want to use an unmaintained package in your project.
