[Solved]-ImportError: No module named rest_framework.authtoken

Check out the last response here. Instead of including the whole view as a string, import ‘obtain_auth_token’ first and then just refer to that.

from rest_framework.authtoken.views import obtain_auth_token

...
url(r'^api-token-auth/', obtain_auth_token),
...

Further update from agconti:

This issue stems from using:

urlpatterns = patterns("api.views",
    ...
    url(r'^api-token-auth/', 'rest_framework.authtoken.views.obtain_auth_token'),
    ...
)

because of the views prefix. If you want to use api-token-auth/ this way you must change it to below or use the solution provided by Alex:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    ...
    url(r'^api-token-auth/', 'rest_framework.authtoken.views.obtain_auth_token'),
    ...
)
