Keeping custom sign_up class and importing allauth forms in same forms.py file causing import errors

Question

from django import forms
from allauth.account.forms import (LoginForm, ChangePasswordForm,
                               ResetPasswordForm, SetPasswordForm, ResetPasswo         


        

Answer 1

This happens because allauth tries to import the given module/class you specified as signup form in your settings.py in its account/forms.py. (See forms.py#L186 @ github)

When you override other forms like ChangePasswordForm in your settings.py by importing allauth's account/forms.py, circular import happens because allauth has already imported your forms.py in its forms.py

To avoid this, simply move your singup form to a separate signupform.py and change the settings accordingly. It'll work.
