  <p>I tried to import generic by adding:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.contrib.contenttypes import generic 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in models.py. Then after few research I found out that generic has been deprecated in Django 1.7 and is no more in Django 1.9. Can anyone tell me in which other library this functionality has been added in Django 1.9 and how to use it?</p>
