I just need the simple client server direct messaging in django and not getting what is the best and efficient way to do. I don't want to implement django channels as I think this is complex and provides extra functionaly which I don't need.
One article that I found useful was and wanted: https://pypi.org/project/django-directmessages/
But implementing it cause different issues like :
cannot import name 'python_2_unicode_compatible' from 'django.utils.encoding'
I have found that this is not supporting django 3.0.2 which I have. So can anyone explain me some simple way to implement some direct message functionality? Any custom db model?
