in django 4.0 there is no force_text

[JayabalM]

Getting following error when working with Django 4.0

linguist/utils.py", line 10, in <module>
    from django.utils.encoding import force_text
ImportError: cannot import name 'force_text' from 'django.utils.encoding'

Because there is no force_text in Django 4.0 instead use force_str

Solution:

replace

from django.utils.encoding import force_text

to

from django.utils.encoding import force_str
