Description

I upgraded to Django 4.1.11 (coming from 4.1.10), and I got this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'backports'

This is coming from a Django file:

File "/Users/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/S4yCzdAj/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/utils/timezone.py", line 12, in <module>
    from backports import zoneinfo

It can be fixed by manually installing backports.zoneinfo, but I believe packages that Django requires should be automatically pulled in. I'm using pipenv to install.

Versions:

  • Python: 3.8.13
  • Pipenv: 2023.9.8
  • Django: 4.1.11

backports.zoneinfo is on the list of required packages from Python < 3.9 and Django 4.1. Check out TicketClosingReasons/UseSupportChannels for ways to get help.
