Django dumpdata django.contrib.auth

Question

I want dump data of django.contrib.auth app.

I've tried:

>> python manage.py dumpdata django.contrib.auth > 'django.contrib.admin.json'
Error: Unknown application: django.contrib.auth
>> python manage.py dumpdata 'django.contrib.auth' > 'django.contrib.admin.json'
Error: Unknown application: django.contrib.auth

Nothing works. Need your help.

@singer, yes, `python manage.py dumpdata myapp > 'myapp.json` works fine — imkost, Apr 21 '13 at 01:24
Are you using virtualenv? django.contrib.auth is in INSTALLED_APPS, sorry for obvious question just to check. — singer, Apr 21 '13 at 01:29
@singer, yes, `django.contrib.auth` is in `INSTALLED_APPS`. OS is Ubuntu — imkost, Apr 21 '13 at 01:55
About virtualenv. I don't know for sure, but I guess I use it. I can use apps from my python dir — imkost, Apr 21 '13 at 01:57

If you want just user, you can run: `python manage.py dumpdata auth.user` – neosergio Jan 18 '17 at 16:55
