Why import error while using django-templated-email? - django

Question

I am trying to use BradWhittington Django-Templated-Email. I installed it, and added the following lines in the settings.py.
from templated_email.backends.vanilla_django import TemplateBackend
TEMPLATED_EMAIL_BACKEND = TemplateBackend
When I try to run the server, I get the import error. Even when I use
from templated_email import send_templated_mail
in the models.py I again get the import error. I am new to django, and I googled for the answer many times. But no luck. What am I missing? The 'Run' window on pycharm shows the following:
"C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 4.0.4\bin\runnerw.exe" "E:\***\***\***\env1\Scripts\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm 4.0.4\helpers\pycharm\django_manage.py" syncdb "E:/***/***/***/***"

Django-Templated-Email does not support python 3, which you are using.
You can migrate your project to python2, but it's better to find modern alternative to Django-Templated-Email.
