In short, replace 'request.REQUEST' with 'request' and it should work.

Django 1.9 (?) changed the request and response objects by eliminating wrapped design across the board.

Apparently Django devs eliminated some redundant fields and in this case, request.REQUEST -> request . A similar change is response.error.message -> response.error. I found this error in authomatic package and made a pull request about it.
