I am trying to get Django-facebook working on a test project that I have. I am using django-registration and everything has been working well with my setup, but when I try to interact with /facebook/connect/ I get the following error:

ValueError at /facebook/connect/
No exception supplied

The exception is a result of the following in django_facebook/utils.py in get_registration_backend starting at line 207:

try:
# support for the newer implementation
from registration.backends import get_backend
try:
backend = get_backend(settings.REGISTRATION_BACKEND)
except:
raise(ValueError,
'Cannot get django-registration backend from ' \ ...
'settings.REGISTRATION_BACKEND')
except ImportError:
backend = None
return backend

I am sorry if this error is from a mis-configuration or misunderstanding of the requirements on my end. I am using the most recent django-registration from ubernostrum's bitbucket and the most recent checkout of Django-facebook.

I hadn't needed to specify a REGISTRATION_BACKEND before. What variable should I use?
