I am using channels==2.0.2 and getting the following error while trying to import Group.

File "/home/user/python_projects/django_channels/my_project/game/models.py", line 3, in
from channels import Group
ImportError: cannot import name 'Group'

• OS: Ubuntu 14.04
• Channels: 2.0.2,

• Django: 2.0.3,
• Twisted: 17.9.0,

Groups work differently with channels 2 than they did with channels 1. There is no Group class anymore.

The new groups API is documented here:
