Token.objects not found

I'm using djangorestframework in django==2.0 with python 3.7

I put an event like this

@receiver(post_save, sender=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
def create_auth_token(sender, instance=None, created=False, **kwargs):
    if created:
        from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
        Token.objects.create(user=instance)

when I tried to create a user the compiler giving an error:

Exception Value:    
type object 'Token' has no attribute 'objects'

I just simply forgot to add

    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
)

to my REST_FRAMEWORK variable

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
),
}

now, it should look like this:

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
),
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
)
}

Also, dont forget to specify the authtoken module within the rest framework library, like so:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'rest_framework',
'rest_framework.authtoken',
]

Looks like the Token model is not created. So make sure you followed the installation in the documentation.

Make sure you have 'rest_framework.authtoken' in INSTALLED_APPS

Also, rest framework authentication classes inside settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
),
'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
    'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticated',
)

}

Also, make sure you do python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate which create the Token model

First check whether you have added 'rest_framework.authtoken' under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py. Then run 'python manage.py migrate'.

Secondly you should open new python shell while creating token for users without token as follows:

>>> `from django.contrib.auth.models import User`
>>> `from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token`
>>> `user = User.objects.get(pk=1)`                        
>>> `Token.objects.create(user=user)`

Try to do the following

>>> from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token
>>> Token.objects.all()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: type object 'Token' has no attribute 'objects'

If the above error occurs, That's because you didn't add the auth token in the settings' INSTALLED_APPS. if it's not the in the INSTALLED_APPS, it's abstract and doesn't have the default manager (objects).
