The answer lies in the fact that you are getting a Django configuration exception and not an ImportError.

The solution: https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/issues/826

The reason: https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/master/allauth/account/forms.py#L197

So, there is an import loop / inheritance problem: Allauth's SignupForm makes itself a child of your custom form and you're trying to become it's child.

Hello, I'm trying to add some additional fields to the allauth signup form (first_name and last_name). I'm thinking the best way to do this is to create a allauth SignupForm subclass and add my own fields (very new to django so please let me know if I'm going about this wrong)

I added

ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS = 'accounts.forms.UserCreateForm'

to my base settings file

and here is my accounts.forms.py...

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

from allauth.account.forms import SignupForm

from django import forms

class UserCreateForm(SignupForm):

    class Meta:

        fields = ("first_name", "last_name", "email", "username", "password1", "password2")

        model = get_user_model()

        

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

        self.fields["first_name"].label = ''

        self.fields["first_name"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "First Name"

        self.fields["last_name"].label = ''

        self.fields["last_name"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Last Name"

        self.fields["email"].label = ''

        self.fields["email"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Email"

        self.fields["username"].label = ''

        self.fields["username"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Username"

        self.fields["password1"].label = ''

        self.fields["password1"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Password"

        self.fields["password2"].label = ''

        self.fields["password2"].widget.attrs["placeholder"] = "Confirm Password"

for some reason I keep getting the error ...

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error importing form class accounts.forms: "cannot import name 'SignupForm'"

Not sure why. Obviously there is a SignupForm in allauth.account.forms.py, seen here... 

https://github.com/pennersr/django-allauth/blob/master/allauth/account/forms.py

I dont know what I'm doing wrong. Any help you can give is much appreciated
