Django-import-export: TemplateDoesNotExist error due to django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader being deprecated

[machakux]

Since Django 1.9 the django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader has been deprecated and it looks like it is not among the default template loaders in Django 1.10.

When installing django-import-export as a dependancy of another package (example; using python setup.py develop on a dependant package) django-import-export gets installed as a zipped egg file which results into a TemplateDoesNotExist unless django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader is added to settings manually.

Will it be useful adding zip_safe = False in setup.py (or something similar) in order to discourage installation of django-import-export as a zipped egg?

Adding a example of exception message to make this little easier to google:

TemplateDoesNotExist: admin/import_export/change_list_import.html

any fix?

You need to include 'import_export' in your 'INSTALLED_APPS' in settings.py

I'm having the same problem. Working locally but broken in production.

Django==1.11.29
