I'm running Django 3.1 and social-auth-app-django 3.1.0 so I can authenticate against
MediaWiki. Everything works, but want to start moving toward more modern releases. If I
upgrade social-auth-app-django to anything newer, I get an exception in the authentication
flow:
Direct assignment to the forward side of a many-to-many set is prohibited. Use
groups.set() instead.
Has anybody else seen this problem?
It looks like this was first reported about 18 months ago
<https://github.com/python-social-auth/social-app-django/issues/256>, with no
response to the issue. I fear that the whole python-social-auth project is close to
abandoned. There's been a total of 4 commits in the last 6 months. Unfortunately,
I'm not aware of any viable alternative.
